Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the length of your stay in Seychelles. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Seychelles Travel Authorization (eTA) Apply online before departure | All visitors must apply for a Travel Authorization at seychelles.govtas.com before travel. The application takes about 10 minutes — you need your passport details, flight info, and accommodation address. Approval usually comes within 24 hours, but apply at least 3 days before your flight.Apply for Travel Authorization | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Seychelles | Immigration officers at Seychelles International Airport ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A one-way ticket without proof of onward travel will get you refused entry. Have your booking confirmation ready on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Immigration may ask for it at the counter — a printed copy or a screenshot on your phone works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — a bank statement or credit card showing at least $150 per day of your stay. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, you need to show it. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity before boarding. If you have less than 6 months left, you may be denied boarding even if Seychelles would let you in. Double-check your passport's expiry date.
No visa fees or applications needed
Moroccans get visa-free entry for up to 90 days. No need to apply online or pay any visa fee. Just show up with the right documents.
