Entry Requirements for Seychelles (Updated 2025)
Do You Need a Visa for Seychelles?
No visa is required to enter Seychelles. However, all travelers must complete an online Travel Authorization prior to arrival. This is mandatory and comes at a cost of approximately €10 per person. It’s highly recommended to complete the form at least 3 days before your flight.
How to Submit Your Seychelles Travel Authorization
What You’ll Need:
- Valid passport (ideally valid for at least 6 months)
- Flight tickets (arrival & return)
- Hotel booking confirmations (for every night of your stay)
- A clear passport-style selfie or photo from your passport
- A credit card for payment (approximately €10, plus a small processing fee)
Tip: The process takes about 5 minutes. Approval is usually received within a few hours. In urgent cases, express processing is available for approximately €70, with approval typically within 4 hours.
Where to Apply:
Submit your application on the official Seychelles Travel Authorization portal:
