Do I need a return ticket for Seychelles?
A visitor should hold a valid return or onward ticket for the duration of the visit. The ticket should match the planned stay and the dates entered in travel-authorisation information. A flexible itinerary is useful, but it should still show a credible departure plan.
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.
