Can I extend my Seychelles visitor stay?
A visitor should leave by the end of the permitted stay or use the available immigration process before the permission expires. An extension is not automatic and should never be assumed from a flexible ticket or hotel booking. Keep the passport, entry record and reason for any request ready.
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.
- A visitor permit is not an open-ended stay.
- Private assistance cannot approve an extension.
