How to apply for your Seychelles visa with iVisa
Answer a few simple questions to find out whether you need a Seychelles Travel Authorization, or another Seychelles travel document to visit the country. Then, upload your documents, and pay securely. You can save your progress and come back anytime. Most people finish in less than 10 minutes.
We’ll guide you through any unclear steps during the application process.
The Seychelles entry system is known for being a bit picky – your photo must be the right size, and your passport scan must be clear.
Don’t worry – we review your whole application to catch anything that might cause delays.
We’re not the Seychelles government, but we submit your application to them and are here for you along the way if there are any problems.
We’ll email your completed Seychelles document and let you know how to use it for your trip.
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.
Applying for a visa on your own can be confusing and time-consuming. iVisa simplifies the process, reduces errors, and gives you peace of mind.

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.
The Seychelles Visitor’s Permit is initially valid for up to three months from the date of arrival. It can be extended in-country for further three month-periods, up to a total stay of 12 months.
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.
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.
