Short Stay Visitors

People from most of the countries in the world do not need a visa to enjoy a holiday in the Seychelles. There are some documents that each visitor is required to show to the immigration officials at the Seychelles International Airport in order to get immigration clearance and enter this beautiful country. People travelling in a tour package will be informed of the required documents by their tour company. Some packaged tours will arrange the requirements in advance of the travel time.

VISA REQUIREMENTS

• A passport that is valid on the arrival date at the Seychelles and on the departure date
• A valid return or onward ticket. If the traveller does not have this, it must be purchased when they arrive in the Seychelles
• Proof of accommodation reservations and contact details of where the visitor can be reached while in the Seychelles
• Sufficient amount of money to last the whole holiday in the Seychelles. The minimum amount required is USD 150.00 per day or the equivalent

With these valid documents in hand, visitors will be granted a Visitor’s Permit by the Seychelles Department of Immigration. This permit is issued for a stay of up to one month, but it can be extended for a further stay of up to three months from the date of issue.

Three month extensions can then be gained for up to 12 months, if the visitor still meets the requirements mentioned above. After the first three month extension, which is free, there will be a fee for any added three month extensions.

Special Considerations

German travellers with children who are under 15 years of age and who have a Kinderausweis, may enter the Seychelles if the travel document has a photo ID of the minor concerned.

In some cases, if the traveller does not have all of the required documents or meet the required conditions, a security bond may be requested.

Customs Requirements

It is not allowed for visitors to bring weapons or pornographic materials into the Seychelles. There are duty free allowances for alcohol, tobacco and perfumes as well as duty free musical instruments, portable electronics, cameras and handheld gaming equipment.

Visitors will not be allowed to enter the country if they are trying to import the following items without official permission and an import permit that was obtained in advance of arriving in the country:

• Radioactive substances
• Plants or parts of plants
• Animals
• Biological specimens
• Drugs
• Pharmaceuticals
• Chemicals
• Poisons

Import duties may be paid with cash or with personal checks drawn on a local bank. Credit cards are not accepted for import duties.

Health Service—if the ex-pat is working, the employer may cover health costs, otherwise they will need to pay for medical care themselves as the free care is only for Seychellois.

Education—for those who have children there are free state schools for children from five to sixteen years of age. These schools are conducted in all three national languages, which are English, Creole and French. There are two private schools on Mahe.

Seychelles is considered a tropical paradise and many people would like to live and work there, but the government is very careful about allowing non-Seychellois to stay for long periods. They must show good character, have enough financial support or be sponsored by an employer.
