Is a visa required for South Koreans?

South Korean passport holders do not need a visa in the traditional sense. Instead, the Health Travel Authorisation is a mandatory entry document for every visitor arriving by air.

Permit Types

The most common permit is the Tourist Authorisation. If you are visiting for work, meetings, or just passing through, ensure you select the Business or Transit option on the form.

Travel Readiness Tips

• Ensure your passport has at least one blank page.
• Upload clear, colour scans of your documents.
• Have your flight itinerary ready before you start.
• Double-check your email address for the approval notice.

How long can I stay?

The authorisation usually covers your stay for up to 30 days. It is important to note that the final decision on your length of stay is made by the immigration officer at the airport.

Application Costs

The total cost depends on your nationality, the type of permit, and how quickly you need it. You can see a detailed list of prices on the cost information page.

Processing Times

There are three main options for processing: Standard, Urgent, and Super Fast. If your flight is within the next 6-9 Working Days, the Super Fast option is highly recommended.

Document Requirements

You will need a few key items to complete your digital application from Korea.

• Valid South Korean passport.
• Digital photo of the applicant.
• Proof of accommodation in Seychelles.
• Confirmed return flight tickets.

For more details on file types, visit the checklist page.

The Application Process

The process is 100% online. You fill out the form, upload your photos and tickets, and pay the fee. Your request is then sent for review by the authorities in Seychelles.

Status Monitoring

You can track your application status easily. Simply use your reference number and passport ID to see if your permit is pending, under review, or approved.

Common Rejection Reasons

Errors in the passport number or name spelling are common reasons for a denial. Also, ensure your hotel confirmation covers the entire duration of your stay in the islands.

Permit Extensions

If you wish to stay longer, you must apply for an extension while still in the country. Information on stay limits can be found on the validity rules page.
