Entry Requirements for Travellers from Martinique
Do I need a Visa for Martinique?
Seychelles is a visa-free country, but it requires a Travel Authorisation (TA). This is not a traditional sticker in your passport but a digital file that links to your travel identity. You cannot enter without this pre-approved document.
Permission Categories
The system organises visitors into groups based on their trip's intent. Most Martinique travellers fall under the holiday category. There are also specific pathways for those attending work seminars or those briefly passing through to another island nation.
Duration of Stay
The authorisation is usually granted to match the length of your holiday booking. While many travellers are initially given a 30-day window, the exact permission is stamped by the local officers upon your arrival at the airport.
Fees and Charges
There is a processing fee for every application. This cost is not fixed; it shifts depending on the urgency of your trip and the specific type of entry you require. You can check the current price list for accurate figures.
Application Timelines
Standard Processing
For those who have planned their Martinique departure well in advance.
Urgent Processing

The Form Process
Completing the form takes only a few minutes. You will be asked about your travel history, health status, and contact info. It is important to be honest and precise with every answer to avoid boarding delays.
Status Monitoring
Once you have finished the online form, you can track its progress. Use your unique reference code and your passport number to see if your request is pending or approved. This transparency helps you plan your flight from Martinique with confidence.
Document Preparation
To ensure your request is processed without hiccups, gather these items first:
- A valid passport with at least one blank page.
- A high-resolution digital photo (head and shoulders).
- A copy of your confirmed return flight ticket.
- A valid email address to receive your confirmation.
- Documentation showing where you will sleep (hotel or guest house).

Common Approval Obstacles
Applications are occasionally delayed if the uploaded photos are too dark or if the passport number is mistyped. Another common issue is providing a hotel booking that doesn't cover the full duration of your stay.
Overstays and Renewals
If your plans change and you wish to extend your time in the islands, you must visit the immigration centre in Victoria. Overstaying without permission is a serious matter. Check your permit dates carefully as soon as you land.
