No visa needed — but don't skip the checklist
Visa-free doesn't mean no paperwork. Immigration can and will ask for proof of onward travel, accommodation, and funds. Have everything ready to avoid delays.
Overstaying is costly
The 90-day stay is not extendable. Overstaying even by a day can result in fines and a ban from re-entering Seychelles. Set a reminder to leave on time.
