Passport valid for duration of intended stay required by all.
Required by all except the following:
(a) Passengers holding onward or return ticket (if not, onward or return ticket must be purchased on arrival).
(b) Proof of sufficient funds and organised accommodation for the duration of the stay.
A visitor’s permit, valid initially for duration of intended stay, is issued on arrival, subject to possession of a and b as above; alternatively a deposit may be made by ‘security’ bond in lieu. The permit may be renewed for 3 months at no extra cost, and then at a cost of an additional SRs200 every 3 months for a maximum of 1 year, provided the applicant holds a valid open return ticket. For further information, contact the nearest Seychelles Tourist Office.
Passengers in transit must have tickets with reserved seats for their onward journey.

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required by all travellers over 1 year arriving from infected areas or who have passed through partly or wholly endemic areas within the preceding 6 days.
Mains water is normally chlorinated, and whilst relatively safe may cause mild abdominal upsets. Bottled water is available and is advised for the first few weeks of the stay. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe to eat.
Rabies may be present in certain areas. If you are bitten, seek medical advice without delay.
There is a large general hospital in Victoria and there are clinics elsewhere on Maha, Praslin and La Digue. Visitors may obtain emergency treatment for a basic consultancy fee. Additional medical insurance is advised.
