RESIDENCE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS

Residential Permit

A person who is not a prohibited immigrant, has family connections in the Seychelles or will make or has made a special contribution to the social, cultural or economic life of the country will be issued a Residential Permit. When the permit is granted, the holder’s spouse and minor dependents can also be endorsed on the permit for a fee.

The regulations concerning a residential permit are:

• The person must live in the Seychelles at least five days during each 12 month period of the permit
• The person must keep a deposit in a bank in the Seychelles or have a bank guarantee for at least Sr. 20,000 if they live in the country for more than one month during any 12 month period
• The person must show evidence after 14 days of each anniversary of a residential permit of bringing into the country at least Sr. 100,000 in foreign exchange if they live in the country for more than one month during any 12 month period. This is done through the Central Bank of Seychelles.
• If the person or if another person in their household can show sufficient investment in the Seychelles, the previous two conditions will not apply
• The person must continuously find opportunities to contribute to the social, economic and cultural life of Seychelles
• The person is not entitled to any social security or free medical benefits
• The person may not work in Seychelles. If they want to work, they need to be granted a Gainful Occupation Permit

An already granted residential permit will no longer be valid if the person breaches any of the above conditions, is convicted of an offense against the immigration laws or is deported from the country.

Planning a Wedding in the Seychelles

Visitors should call the Civil Status Office before arriving in the country to make arrangements for a wedding. Travel agents may also make wedding arrangements directly with the hotel or resort before the couple arrives in the country. French citizens are requested to contact the French Embassy in Seychelles before they get married. There is a fee for obtaining a marriage certificate.

The documents required for couples planning a wedding must be in English or French or translated into those languages. The documents are:

• Birth certificates
• Divorce certificates if applicable
• Valid passports

Relocation

People who would like to make Seychelles their permanent home either need to acquire a GOP or have proof that they can afford to stay without working. This can be done through the Central Bank of Seychelles. The government will consider if such people will make a contribution to the overall good of the country.

After being approved by the immigration office, people looking to relocate need to consider:

Accommodation—a rented house is cheaper because staying permanently in a hotel will be very expensive.

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.
