Seychelles Entry Guidance for Lebanon Travellers
Do Lebanon Citizens Need a Visa?
While Seychelles is technically a visa-free nation, this does not mean there is no paperwork. Lebanon nationals must obtain a Travel Authorisation before boarding their flight. This digital document replaces the old paper landing cards.
Stay Validity
The permission granted usually covers the duration of your stay as indicated on your flight tickets. Generally, visitors are allowed to remain for up to 30 days initially. You can review more about stay validity online.
Application Costs
The total price for the process is not fixed. It changes based on the type of entry you choose and the urgency of your request. Various factors like your country of origin and the nature of your visit influence the final amount.
Available Entry Categories
Business Transit
For travellers attending meetings or short-term work consultations.
Medical Visit
Specifically for individuals seeking healthcare services in the islands.
Document Checklist
Before starting your request, ensure you have these items ready. You can find more details on the document checklist page.

Avoiding Common Rejections
Many applications fail because of simple mistakes. Ensure your passport photo is clear and not blurry. Double-check that your passport number matches exactly what is typed in the form. Missing flight details or unconfirmed hotel bookings are also frequent causes for a "denied" status.
Expired Permits and Extensions
If you wish to stay longer than originally planned, you must contact the local immigration department in Victoria. Do not wait for your permit to expire. Overstaying can result in heavy fines or being banned from returning. Always keep track of your exit date.
