Seychelles Travel Guidance for Mozambique Citizens
Do Mozambique citizens need a visa?
No traditional visa is required for Mozambique passport holders. Instead, you must obtain a Travel Authorisation. This is a mandatory digital document that must be presented to airlines before boarding.
Stay Conditions
While the islands are welcoming, stay durations are regulated. You can review the stay duration guidelines to ensure your visit falls within the permitted window.
Entry Categories
Most travellers visit for leisure, but business and transit categories are also available. Ensure you select the purpose that matches your primary reason for visiting the archipelago.
Application Essentials
| Required Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Passport | Must be valid for your entire stay |
| Accommodation | Proof of a registered hotel or host |
| Flight Proof | Confirmed return ticket to Mozambique |

Understanding the Costs
The total fee for travel authorisation depends on the processing speed you select. These fees are used to maintain the digital border system and provide administrative review.
Processing Windows
There are three options for review: normal, urgent, and super-fast. Depending on how soon you plan to travel, you can choose a speed that ensures your permit is ready before you reach the airport.
The Application Journey
The form is hosted online and asks for your contact details, trip itinerary, and health background. It is important to fill this out carefully to prevent any delays in the approval process.
Status Monitoring
You can check the progress of your request at any time. By using your passport number and unique reference code, you will see if your permit is pending, under review, or approved.
Reasons for Denial
Common issues include missing hotel confirmations or uploading blurry images. If your application is rejected, you will usually be informed of the reason so you can correct the mistake.
Extensions and Overstays
If you wish to remain in Seychelles for longer than 30 days, you must apply for an extension. Staying beyond your authorised date without permission can lead to legal penalties and fines.
