Seychelles Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) for Citizens of Faroe Islands
Entry Requirements for Faroese Travellers
While the Seychelles is a visa-exempt nation for many, the Travel Authorisation is still compulsory. It serves as a digital landing card that you must present to your airline before departure.
Permit Variations
Most visitors choose the Leisure category for holidays. There are also options for those travelling for work purposes or medical treatment. Each type requires specific supporting evidence related to your trip.
Permit Lifespan
The authorisation is valid for a single entry. If you leave the country and wish to return, you must start a new application. You can learn more about entry conditions online.
Associated Costs
Fees cover the administration and security screening of your request. Total amounts change based on whether you select standard or expedited processing speeds. More information is on the fee information page.
Necessary Documentation
To avoid delays, ensure you have your files ready in a digital format. Review the full document guide for technical specifications.
- Digital copy of passport bio-page
- Travel itinerary and flight numbers
- Contact details for your island lodging
- High-quality selfie or headshot
Assessment Speed
Standard review takes a 6-9 Working Days to a day. For urgent trips, there are faster options available that prioritise your file in the queue. You should apply at least 3-5 Working Days before your flight.
The Online Form
The form asks for your passport data, home address, and health status. It is designed to be quick. You will receive a PDF document once your application has been processed and accepted.
Checking Your Status
You don't need to wonder about your progress. Simply use the tracking tool on the site. You will need to input your passport number to see if your file is still under review or approved.
Avoiding Denial
Most rejections happen because of simple typos. Ensure your date of birth is correct. Also, make sure your passport photo is clear and not a photo of a photo. Authorities need to see high-quality scans for verification.
Handling Expired Stays
Never stay past the date stamped in your passport at the airport. If you wish to stay longer, visit the immigration office in Victoria. They will explain the extension process and any required fees for longer visits.
