Seychelles arrival card requirements

The Seychelles Travel Authorisation is a digital document issued by the government, allowing tourists, business visitors, or transit travelers to enter Seychelles.

The Seychelles TA must be completed by all people traveling to the country by air and sea. It helps authorities to make pre-travel assessments and screening of visitors, enhancing security.

TA holders can use the document to enter Seychelles only once; for the next visit, a new form is required. It usually allows a stay for up to 90 days.

To complete the Seychelles arrival card you need:

Based on official government sources

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months of arrival
  • Recent photo of the applicant's face
  • Airline or cruise booking confirmation
  • Accommodation booking confirmation
  • Letter of invitation (from a family member/friend, if visiting them)
