Travelers can obtain a travel authorization (ETA) for the Seychelles, which allows them to visit the country without the need for a traditional visa. In fact, most nationalities are visa-exempt, but must apply for this ETA before arriving in the country. This simplified process makes administrative formalities much simpler, and speeds up the process of immigrating to the country. This system is available to citizens of various countries who wish to visit Seychelles for the following purposes tourism, professionals or transit.
The length of your stay in Seychelles with an ETA varies according to your nationality and the purpose of your visit. Typically, ETAs allow a maximum stay of 90 days in the country with a single entry, with 30-day increments that can be extended.
If you wish to extend your stay beyond the 30 days initially granted by the ETA with a residence permit, it is necessary to contact the Seychelles Immigration and Civil Affairs Division directly. This request must be made before the expiry of your current term. However, the total length of stay, including any extensions, cannot exceed 90 days.
In general, an ETA for Seychelles is valid for 30 days from the date of issue. This means that you need to plan your trip to Seychelles during this period, and arrive in the country before your ETA expires. You can submit your application at any time, and we'll take care of submitting it when it's administratively possible.
Thanks to the electronic system, applying for an ETA for the Seychelles is relatively quick. Generally speaking, it can take up to 3 days to obtain your travel authorization once you have submitted your application online. However, it is advisable to submit your application in advance to avoid any delays or problems in meeting your deadline.
The consular fee is 160 SCR(€11). It should be emphasized that it is not possible to refund consular fees, even if the ETA application is rejected. At Visamundi, we'll give you a full refund, even our service charges!
When submitting your application online, it is possible to pay the ETA fee by credit or debit card, Visa, Mastercard or American Express. Please ensure that you have a valid card before starting the application process.
