Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Seychelles. No 6-month validity rule applies here — just cover your stay dates. Airlines may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Seychelles | Immigration officers at Seychelles International Airport always ask for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this at the counter before passport control. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. Have your booking confirmation or a letter from your host ready — a screenshot on your phone works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Immigration can ask for proof you have enough money for your trip — around $150 USD per day is the unofficial benchmark. A bank statement or credit card with available limit usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
| Seychelles Travel Authorization (eTA) Mandatory online pre-approval before travel | All visitors must apply for a Travel Authorization at seychelles.govtas.com at least 24 hours before departure. The fee is $10 USD, and approval comes by email within minutes. Print the approval or save it on your phone — you'll show it at check-in and on arrival.Apply for Travel Authorization | Required |
No visa needed — but don't skip the documents
You don't need to apply for anything before you go, but immigration will check your passport validity, return ticket, and accommodation. Have them ready on your phone or printed.
Overstaying is expensive
The 90-day limit is strict. Overstaying can result in fines of around 100 SCR per day (about €7) and possible deportation. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before you fly
Before heading to the airport, check your passport is valid for 6+ months from your arrival date. Print or screenshot your return ticket and first night hotel booking. If you're using an eSIM, install it before departure so it activates on landing.
2
Arrive at Seychelles International Airport (SEZ)
You'll go through immigration at the main terminal in Victoria, Mahé. Join the queue for foreign passport holders. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will stamp you in — no visa fee, no forms to fill.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel and walk through customs. There's usually no baggage check unless you're carrying restricted items. You're free to go.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is strictly 90 days and cannot be extended. If you overstay, you'll face fines of about 100 SCR per day (around €7) and possible deportation. Plan your trip to fit within that window.
Only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (like parts of Africa or South America). If you're flying directly from Slovakia or another European country, no vaccine is required.
You'll be denied entry. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month validity is strictly enforced at immigration.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism only. Any paid work, volunteering, or business activities require a separate work permit or business visa. You could be fined and deported if caught.
No. There's no online arrival declaration or paper form to complete. Just show your passport and documents at the immigration desk.
The local currency is the Seychellois rupee (SCR). Euros and US dollars are widely accepted at hotels and larger restaurants, but you'll get a better rate using local currency. ATMs are available at the airport and in Victoria. Credit cards work at most hotels but less so at small shops.
Yes, Seychelles is very safe for tourists. Petty crime like pickpocketing can happen in crowded areas, but violent crime is rare. Take normal precautions — don't leave valuables unattended on beaches, lock your accommodation, and avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas.
