Processing Speed Options

There are three tiers for review: Normal, Urgent, and Super Fast. Choose the speed that best fits your departure schedule to ensure you have your documents in time for boarding.

The Digital Form

The online application is a simple questionnaire. You will provide your personal details and upload images of your documents. It is important to ensure all information is accurate and legible.

Tracking Status

After you submit, you can monitor your application's progress. Use your reference number and passport ID to check if your authorisation has been granted or if more info is needed.

Common Reasons for Denial

Hand Holding Passport at Airport

Denials usually occur due to incomplete information or blurry document uploads. Ensuring that all your files are clear and your details match your passport exactly is the best way to avoid rejection.

Expired Permits and Extensions

If you need to stay longer, you must contact the Seychelles immigration office before your current authorisation expires. Overstaying is not permitted and can result in legal action or fines.
