Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a visa for Seychelles?
No. Turkish citizens travel to Seychelles visa-free on an ordinary (burgundy) passport. A Visitor's Permit valid for up to 90 days is granted at the airport, so there's nothing to arrange in advance.
What should I have ready on arrival?
The permit is issued at the border, but the immigration officer usually wants to see proof of onward or return travel, your accommodation details, and enough funds for the stay. Make sure your passport has enough validity left, and keep these documents handy to speed things up at the desk.
What about diplomatic and service passports?
Holders of special, service and diplomatic passports also enter Seychelles visa-free and may stay for up to 90 days, the same as ordinary passport holders.
How long can I stay, and can I extend?
The initial permit covers up to 90 days. If you'd like to stay longer, you can apply to the Seychelles immigration authorities for an extension. Check the current conditions on the official portal (seychelles.govtas.com) before you travel.
