Only if you are traveling to the Seychelles from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission. If you have only transited through a risky country (like Ethiopia) without leaving the airport, you typically do not need it.

Yes. Upon arrival, you are granted a Visitor’s Permit valid for 3 months for free. You can extend this in 3-month increments (up to 12 months total) at the Immigration Office in Victoria for a fee of approximately SCR 5,000 (about US $370).

Your authorization is linked to your passport number digitally, and you’ll receive a QR code which you must show to the airline upon boarding. You can also find a copy of your Travel Authorization QR code and confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.

Most tourist visits allow for a stay of up to 3 months. However, your max. allowed stay is determined by the specific Visitor's Permit issued upon arrival.

The application window opens 30 days before your arrival. We recommend applying at least 48 to 72 hours before your flight to account for any processing delays. When submitting your details to iVisa earlier, we can process your application exactly when the window opens.

You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session.
