🇸🇨 Seychelles for 🇨🇮 CI citizens

ICS specifies that the passport must be valid for the period of the intended stay until arrival back in the holder’s country of origin or residence; no extra 6‑month buffer is required. Passport or recognised travel document must be presented both for ETA (SEBS) and on arrival.

All visitors must obtain a valid Travel Authorisation via seychelles.govtas.com or the official Seychelles e‑Border app before departure. Standard government fee is approximately EUR 10 per application on the official SEBS platform; higher fees charged by third‑party sites are not official and may cause problems at boarding. Authorisation is generally valid for a single journey and must be presented at airline check‑in and on arrival.

ICS requires visitors to hold a valid return ticket or ticket for onward travel for the duration of the visit. Electronic tickets or booking confirmations are generally accepted if they clearly show passenger name, itinerary and dates. ICS requires visitors to hold a valid return ticket or ticket for onward travel for the duration of the visit, including those entering under diplomatic passport arrangements.

ICS requires confirmed accommodation as a condition for issuance of the Visitor’s Permit on arrival. Travellers should provide at least the first nights’ confirmed accommodation; some guidance suggests at least the first three nights, with full stay details entered in SEBS. Booking vouchers should show the name and address of the establishment and the dates of stay.

ICS explicitly states a minimum of approximately USD 150 per day or equivalent as a guideline for sufficient funds. Evidence can include recent bank statements, credit card statements, cash, or traveller’s cheques; officers may not always ask to see proof but can request it. Travellers staying with residents may be asked for a sponsorship or invitation letter in addition to financial proof.

Required only for travellers who have recently been in, or transited through, countries with yellow fever risk, in line with Seychelles public health regulations. Travellers should check the latest list of affected countries and health guidance before departure; requirements may change.

Not explicitly mandated in current ICS entry conditions outside specific health emergencies, but strongly recommended to cover high overseas medical costs. During past COVID‑19 measures, proof of health insurance covering COVID‑related costs was required; travellers should verify if any similar requirements are in force at time of travel.
