Seychelles Travel Entry for Guyana Citizens
Is a Visa Required for Guyana?
The Seychelles does not issue a traditional visa for visitors from Guyana. Instead, the digital Travel Authorisation is the official entry mechanism. You must apply and receive approval before you board any flight to the islands. You can check who is eligible to apply.
Entry Types
The travel permit covers tourism, transit, and short business visits. Each type has slightly different conditions. Make sure to select the correct category when filling in the form.
Stay Validity and Entry Conditions
Your stay duration is typically tied to your return flight booking. Extensions are handled in person with local immigration. See the full validity guidance to understand extensions and re-entry options.
Application Fees
There is a standard fee for processing the permit. The amount varies depending on the speed of review you select. View the full fee table for a breakdown before you begin.

The Application Process

Tracking Your Application
Use your passport number and application reference to check status. You will also receive email updates when your permit is ready or if additional information is required.
Common Rejection Reasons
Permit rejections often stem from incorrect passport numbers, blurry photos, or mismatched travel dates. Double-check everything before you submit to avoid delays.
Extensions and Expiry
If you wish to extend your stay beyond the approved dates, you must visit the immigration office in Seychelles. Overstaying without authorisation can result in fines or deportation.
