Tourist Entry Conditions & Stay Rules for Visiting Seychelles

Seychelles, famous for its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and lush islands, offers one of the most visitor-friendly entry systems in the world. Instead of a traditional visa, all travelers receive a Visitor’s Permit on Arrival, provided they meet basic entry requirements.

To qualify, visitors must show a valid passport, proof of accommodation, return or onward travel, and sufficient funds for their stay. The initial Visitor’s Permit is typically granted for up to 30 days, and it can be extended in-country for longer stays if needed.

For travelers planning extended visits or special purposes—such as study, business, or work—Seychelles has dedicated long-stay permits and occupation-related passes. Choosing the appropriate permit ensures seamless entry and a smooth island experience.
