Frequently asked questions
No. Slovenian passport holders get a visitor's permit on arrival at Seychelles International Airport. No visa, no eVisa, no pre-approval needed.
Up to 90 days per visit. The permit is stamped at immigration on arrival. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to apply for an extension from the Department of Immigration in Victoria — but extensions are not guaranteed.
Extensions are possible but not automatic. You'd need to visit the Department of Immigration in Victoria (on Mahé) before your 90 days expire. There's a fee (around 1,000 SCR) and you'll need a reason (e.g., medical, family). Overstaying without permission can result in fines or deportation.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at immigration. Renew your passport before you travel. The 6-month validity is strictly enforced.
Only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (e.g., parts of Africa or South America). If you're flying directly from Slovenia or via a European hub, you don't need it. Check the latest WHO list before you go.
No. The visitor's permit is for tourism, visiting friends/family, or short business meetings. Any paid work, volunteering, or study requires a separate permit. You'd need to apply through the Seychelles Department of Immigration before you start.
The local currency is the Seychellois rupee (SCR). Euros and US dollars are widely accepted at hotels and larger restaurants, but you'll get better rates using local cash. ATMs are available at the airport and in Victoria. Credit cards work at most hotels but less so at small shops.
