Cross-checked against the destination’s immigration authority · Last verified 25 June 2026.

Seychelles does not issue visas to any nationality; instead every visitor gets a visitor's permit on arrival, provided they show a return or onward ticket, pre-booked accommodation and enough funds. For Vanuatu travellers this means easy access to one of the world's top island destinations.

Note that Seychelles has at times required visitors to complete an online Travel Authorisation before boarding — separate from a visa. Always check whether this pre-registration is currently in force for your trip.

The initial permit is usually granted for up to a month and can be extended in-country up to three months, and renewed beyond that for longer stays — making Seychelles practical for extended visits, remote work or scouting property, though it remains a visitor status, not residence.
