Visa Status for Pakistan

While the Seychelles is essentially a visa-free country, Pakistani citizens must obtain a Travel Authorisation before departure. This document is a mandatory requirement for all international arrivals. It is not a traditional visa but a pre-departure clearance that replaces the old paper landing cards.

Types of Entry Available

The digital form allows you to specify your reason for visiting. Most travellers from Pakistan apply for a tourist entry. Other options include visits for business meetings or family gatherings. It is important to select the category that accurately reflects your purpose to ensure compliance with local laws.

How to Apply

The application is handled entirely online. You will need to fill out a form with your identity details, passport information, and travel dates. The system is designed to be efficient, but accuracy is key to ensuring your application is approved without delays.

Document Checklist for Pakistanis

Gathering these items before you start the form will save time. For a full list of accepted formats, see our document requirements page.

• A Pakistani passport valid for at least six months from the arrival date.
• A digital scan of the passport's information page.
• A recent colour photograph of the traveller.
• Confirmed return flight bookings.
• Proof of accommodation for every night of the stay.
• Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the visit.

Stay Limits and Validity

The entry permit is generally valid for the duration of your intended stay as shown on your flight tickets. It is important to note that this permission does not allow the holder to work or seek residency. You can find more information about stay limits to help plan your trip.

Processing Fees

A fee is charged for the review and issuance of the travel document. This amount can change based on the specific type of permit and the processing speed you select. Detailed information on the latest rates is available on our cost and fees page.

Review Periods

Monitoring Your Application

After you submit your request, you will receive a reference number. Use this code to track your application's status on the status portal. This allows you to confirm that your permit is ready before you head to the airport, preventing any last-minute issues at check-in.

Avoiding Common Rejections

Applications from Pakistan are occasionally rejected due to incomplete information. Common reasons include missing hotel confirmations or uploading photos that do not meet the technical standards. Making sure all your documents are clear and your details are accurate is the best way to ensure your approval is granted quickly.

Extensions and Expiry

If you need to stay in the Seychelles longer than planned, you must apply for an extension at the immigration office in Victoria. Staying past your permit's expiry without approval is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation. It is always better to arrange your extension well in advance of the expiry date.
