Can I enter Seychelles without a visa?
Seychelles is generally visa-free for visitors, but every traveller must complete the required pre-travel immigration registration and meet the visitor conditions. A valid passport or recognised travel document, confirmed accommodation, a return or onward ticket and sufficient funds are central to the arrival file.
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 visa-free trip is not a work permit, residence permit or guarantee of admission.
- Entry conditions can change and the border decision remains separate from private assistance.
