What is the Seychelles Travel Authorisation?

It is a mandatory electronic authorisation issued through the Seychelles Electronic Border System that every visitor must obtain before travelling, replacing the old visa requirement.

What documents do I need for Seychelles?

A valid passport, a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and evidence of sufficient funds (from US$150 per day). We review each document before you travel.

How long does the Seychelles Travel Authorisation take?

It is usually approved within about three working days through the official Electronic Border System, so apply before finalising your travel.

How long can I stay in Seychelles?

The visitor permit granted on arrival allows up to three months and can be extended in Seychelles up to a maximum of one year.

Do you need a Seychelles visa?

Planning a trip to Seychelles? Most travellers can now skip the embassy queue and apply for the Seychelles Seychelles Travel Authorisation entirely online. VisitsVisa fills the government form for you, checks every document, and delivers your approved visa by email — usually within 3 working days. Most international travellers need a Seychelles Seychelles Travel Authorisation before they arrive, and the fastest way to get one is to apply for your Seychelles visa online rather than queuing at an embassy. Start with a quick eligibility check and we confirm the exact route and documents for your nationality and country of residence.

How do I apply for a Seychelles visa online?

Applying for a Seychelles Seychelles Travel Authorisation with VisitsVisa takes minutes. Complete one simple online form, upload your passport and photo, and pay securely. Our visa experts review every detail against the latest Seychelles immigration rules before your application is submitted, which is the single biggest thing you can do to avoid a rejection.

How much does a Seychelles visa cost?

A Seychelles Seychelles Travel Authorisation costs $10 through VisitsVisa. The $10 price is all-inclusive — the government fee and our service fee are already bundled in, so there are no hidden charges at checkout. Every traveller on the trip — including children and infants — needs their own Seychelles visa, and you can add multiple applicants to a single order and pay together in one checkout.

How long does Seychelles visa processing take?

Standard Seychelles visa processing usually takes 3 working days. If you are travelling soon, choose Express at checkout and we prioritise your application, with delivery typically within 24 hours. We recommend applying a few days before departure so your Seychelles ETA is confirmed well ahead of your flight.

How long is a Seychelles visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Seychelles Seychelles Travel Authorisation permits a stay of Up to 3 months and is valid for 90 days from issue (single entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Seychelles applications are refused.
