Seychelles visa requirements

Seychelles is visa-free for all nationalities, but every foreign visitor — including children — needs a Seychelles Travel Authorization before boarding. It is not a visa; it is a mandatory security and health screening you must have approved before you travel, and all travelers arriving by air or sea must present it to the airline and immigration officials.

Start your application and iVisa will confirm the Seychelles travel document you need based on your nationality and trip, then prepare, review, and file it for you.

General Seychelles visa requirements are:

Requirements verified against official government sources

  • Passport (must be valid for entire duration of stay)
  • Digital photo
  • Flight and accommodation details
  • Proof of sufficient funds (minimum $150 USD per day)
  • Valid email address

Seychelles Travel AuthorizationTravel authorisation

The Seychelles remains a "visa-free" country, however, the Seychelles Travel Authorization (TA) is a mandatory entry requirement for all foreign visitors (including children). It is not a visa. It is a mandatory security and health screening required before you board your flight. All travelers arriving by air or sea must present an approved authorization to the airline and immigration officials.

  • I did a mistake in the date of fly, but I came on without knowing it. After some steps, the process stoped because the number of flight was wrong of course. It was impossible to come back in order to correct it. I has been a difficult and long process to introduce the right date.

Seychelles visa FAQs

What travelers commonly ask about Seychelles visas.

Still have questions?

Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.

Do I need a Seychelles Travel Authorization even if I don't need a visa?

Yes. Seychelles is visa-free for all nationalities, but the Travel Authorization is mandatory for everyone. It is a separate security requirement that replaces the old paper arrival forms.

Do I need a visa for Seychelles?

No. If you're visiting the Seychelles for tourism, business, or family visits, you don't need a visa. However, you must have a Seychelles Travel Authorization for entry.

Do children/minors need a Seychelles Travel Authorization?

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own submission. Parents can complete the form on behalf of their children. You can use iVisa's "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session.

How will I receive the Seychelles Travel Authorization?

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.

When should I apply for the Seychelles Travel Authorization?

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.

Do I need a yellow fever certificate to travel to the Seychelles?

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.

Can I reuse my Seychelles Travel Authorization?

No. It is for single entry only. You must complete a new Seychelles Travel Authorization registration every time you enter the country by air or sea.
