Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Seychelles | Your passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay. Seychelles does not enforce a 6-month validity rule, but airlines may ask for it at check-in. Carry a copy of your passport data page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Seychelles | Immigration at Seychelles International Airport checks for a return or onward ticket before granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready. This applies even if you arrive on a one-way ticket. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Officers may ask for a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Have a printed booking confirmation or a digital copy on your phone. A simple Airbnb receipt works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Immigration can request evidence of sufficient funds — typically around $150 USD per day. A recent bank statement or a credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies them. Carry a printed statement just in case. | Recommended |
