Visa types needed for Seychelles

Seychelles Travel Authorization

Seychelles Travel Authorization

Purpose: The Seychelles Travel Authorization is a mandatory electronic permit required for all foreign nationals entering Seychelles, regardless of nationality. It replaces the traditional paper immigration forms.

When to apply: Applications can be submitted up to 30 days before arrival, and it must be completed before arrival. With iVisa, you can apply even earlier.

Ports of entry: The Travel Authorization is required for entry through all official ports, including air (e.g., Seychelles International Airport) and sea (cruise or private yacht) arrivals.

Delivery format: Once approved, the Travel Authorization confirmation with a QR code is sent electronically via email. Travelers must present this confirmation — either printed or digital — along with a valid passport at immigration control upon arrival in the Seychelles.

Seychelles visa policy

Seychelles operates a visa-free policy for nearly all nationalities. All visitors to the Seychelles are issued a Visitor’s Permit on arrival for a stay of up to 3 months. You don't need to apply for a visa in advance.

However, all travelers by air and sea must obtain a Seychelles Travel Authorization (TA) before departure and present the confirmation upon arrival. This is a mandatory customs and health form.

General Seychelles entry requirements are:

Valid passport for the duration of the intended stay (six months validity recommended)
Completed Seychelles Travel Authorization
Confirmed return or onward ticket}
Confirmed accommodation details for the duration of stay
Proof of sufficient funds for the duration of stay
Yellow fever vaccination certificate (only if arriving from an endemic country)

When should I apply for the Seychelles Travel Authorization?

You can apply for the Seychelles Travel Authorization up to 30 days before your intended travel date. It must be approved before you board your flight. With iVisa, you can apply even earlier.

How long is the Seychelles Visitor’s Permit valid for?

Are there work or student visas available for Seychelles?

Yes, Seychelles offers specific permits such as the Gainful Occupation Permit for employment and the Student Permit for educational purposes. These must be applied for before arrival through the Seychelles government.

Do I need a Seychelles Travel Authorization or Visitors Permit when arriving by cruise ship or yacht?

Yes, all travelers arriving in Seychelles by sea - including those who do not intend to disembark - must comply with the same entry requirements as air passengers. This means that all visitors arriving by cruise ship, private yacht, or other maritime vessel must complete the Maritime Travel Authorisation form in advance of arrival.

An exemption applies to seafarers and crew members who disembark from a vessel and depart Seychelles by air on the same day.

Sea arrivals must complete the Travel Authorisation via the same online system, but select the maritime option and provide vessel details instead of flight information.
