Entry Requirements:
To make your entry smooth, ensure your passport remains valid for at least 6 months from your planned arrival date. It’s necessary to have an onward or return ticket as well as provide details of your local accommodation and proof of sufficient funds. This ensures a hassle-free entry experience.
Visa Information:
For your convenience, a one-month entry visa can be obtained upon your arrival. If you plan to extend your stay, this visa can be renewed for a period of up to a year. The best part – there’s no charge for this entry visa.
Medical Facilities:
While Seychelles offers stunning landscapes, medical facilities are limited, particularly on the more remote islands. Thankfully, there’s a government-owned hospital and private clinics available. In case of emergencies, an ambulance service operates on the main islands. During rainy seasons, take precautions against mosquito bites and ensure you boil water before drinking. Bottled water is readily accessible.
Insurance and Safety:
For your peace of mind, we strongly recommend obtaining comprehensive travel insurance that covers any potential medical emergencies while you’re abroad. While petty crimes do exist, your valuables can be secured in hotel safes. It’s advisable to avoid wearing flashy jewelry and carrying excessive cash. Be sure to follow local laws, steer clear of crowded areas, and never leave your luggage unattended. Politely decline any packages offered by strangers.
Currency and Payments:
Understanding the currency is vital. The official currency in Seychelles is the Seychelles Rupee (1 USD ≈ 5.4 SCR). When making payments for accommodation, services, or tours, it’s preferred to use foreign currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are conveniently available. However, for small purchases like meals at restaurants and taxi fares, using local currency is recommended. Remember that leaving the country with over 2,000 Seychelles rupees without authorization is prohibited.
Travel Tips:
Embrace the local customs while enjoying the beaches. Topless sunbathing is accepted on many shores, but nudity is discouraged. For your safety, avoid swimming alone at isolated beaches, especially after dark. Petty theft can be an issue on beaches, so keep an eye on your belongings. While driving, remember that Seychelles follows the left-side rule. Roads are generally well-maintained but can be narrow and winding. Always wear your seat belt as it’s mandatory for drivers and front passengers. While child safety seats aren’t legally required, it’s recommended to ensure child safety. Public buses are a reliable mode of transport, though they can be crowded during peak hours. Taxis are also a convenient option.
Additional Information:
For any consulate-related queries, you can find their contact information provided. To respect local laws and customs, as well as to protect the environment, it’s important to adhere to guidelines. Always stay updated on any changes in regulations before you travel.
These descriptions offer a comprehensive understanding of essential aspects to consider for a smooth and enjoyable trip to Seychelles.

Seychelles is generally free from diseases like malaria, yellow fever, and other tropical illnesses. However, it’s smart to talk to a doctor or travel clinic before your trip. They can give you the latest advice based on your health and what’s happening in Seychelles. The Seychelles Ministry of Health might also have rules you need to know about. So, it’s a good idea to check their information or contact them to find out about vaccines or health things you need for your visit.
To make things easy, we suggest that all travelers look at their government or the group that gives travel advice in their country. You can find links for different countries here:

The World Health Organization also gives good health information that can help.
Before traveling to the Seychelles Islands, we kindly urge all travelers to contact their medical insurance provider to confirm coverage while abroad, particularly for emergency expenses such as medical evacuations.
When discussing your coverage with your insurer, it’s important to clarify whether payments will be directly made to the overseas healthcare provider or if you’ll be reimbursed for expenses later. Some insurance plans also include coverage for psychiatric treatment and arrangements for repatriating remains in case of unfortunate events.
To ensure a worry-free experience, we highly recommend that all visitors to Seychelles obtain comprehensive travel insurance that includes coverage for medical evacuations. The cost of medical evacuations due to illness or injury can be substantial, so it’s wise to establish payment arrangements beforehand.”
