Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Seychelles Travel Authorization (eTA) Required for all visitors | Apply online at seychelles.govtas.com at least 24 hours before departure. The approval is linked to your passport and costs around $10 USD. Print the approval email or save the PDF on your phone — immigration checks it before you board.Apply for eTA | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay | Your Danish passport needs at least 6 months of validity beyond your departure date from Seychelles. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Recommended for visa-free entry | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel at Seychelles International Airport. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have ready | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from your host satisfy this requirement. Immigration may ask for it if you look uncertain about where you are staying. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to have ready | Carry at least $150 USD per day or a credit card with sufficient limit. Immigration rarely checks this for Danish passport holders, but having a bank statement or cash on hand avoids any hassle. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity before boarding. If you have less than 6 months left, you won't be allowed to fly. Double-check your expiry date before booking.
