What should I carry when arriving in Seychelles?
Keep the travel authorisation, passport, return or onward ticket, confirmed accommodation and sufficient-funds evidence accessible. The address entered for the stay should be correct. Having a clear arrival file helps answer routine airline and border questions, but it does not guarantee admission.
Use this page to organise the correct passport, purpose, documents and timing. Current visa rules, eligibility and entry conditions can change, so review the destination’s current visa platform before payment or travel.

What this page does not promise
A private information page can help organise a travel file, but it cannot guarantee approval, a fixed processing time, a particular fee or entry. Do not use a visitor route for employment, residence or another activity that the issued permission does not cover.
- Do not place essential documents only in checked baggage.
- A complete file cannot override an entry refusal or changed rule.
