Travel Authorisation for Nepal Citizens to Seychelles
Do Nepal Nationals Require a Visa?
While Seychelles is a visa-free country, it requires a "Travel Authorisation" for all Nepali travellers.
This document is essential for boarding your flight and passing through immigration upon arrival.
Entry Permissions by Purpose
- Holiday: For trekking, diving, or relaxing on the coast.
- Business: For short-term meetings or attending trade events in Victoria.
Required Paperwork for Nepal Residents
Gather these items before you begin your digital request:
- Nepal passport with at least two blank pages.
- Proof of a booked stay at an approved establishment.
- A clear selfie or passport photo in JPEG or PNG format.
