Conditions for entry of persons into Seychelles

These guidelines will be in force as from October 1, 2020 and will be reviewed periodically.

 Currently, visitors are permitted to travel to Seychelles if they are travelling from countries that are on the published list of permitted countries, provided that they have not been in a country not on the permitted list in the previous 14 days. If the travel involves a transit stop in a country not on the permitted list and the traveller does not leave the airport in the transit country, that traveller is permitted to travel to Seychelles. Conditions covering pre-travel, travel, arrival and stay in Seychelles remain in force and are detailed below.

Monday 31st  August 2020

The website of the Department of Immigration and Civil Status will, as from Monday 31st August 2020 have a new look thanks to nearly five months of close working collaboration with a local web designer.

The Department has found it necessary to carry out the upgrade, mindful of the requirements which had to be inserted in view of the Coronavirus pandemic.

We have paid much attention to your feedback which has been taken into consideration in the design concept. We hope that the end-product is friendlier and more informative.
