Rules can change and can differ by the purpose of travel (tourism/business/work/study). Always confirm with the destination’s official immigration/consular source before booking.

How long can Canada nationals stay in Seychelles?

Canada nationals can stay in Seychelles for up to 90 days (visa-free).

All Canada citizens must obtain a Seychelles Travel Authorization (TA) before departure.

This is not a visa, but a mandatory online approval that includes health declarations, travel details, and accommodation proof. The TA is usually processed within a few days and must be approved before boarding the flight.

How long can Canada citizens stay in Seychelles?
