Is a Visa Required for Palauans?

Citizens of Palau do not need a traditional visa for short-term visits. However, a digital Travel Authorisation is a compulsory requirement. This electronic document replaces the old paper arrival cards and must be approved before you board your flight to the Seychelles.

Understanding Entry Options

The application system allows you to select from various entry types. Whether you are visiting for a vacation, a professional meeting, or to see family, you must choose the appropriate category. Most Palauan residents will find the tourist category most suitable for their tropical getaway.

Application Steps for Palauans

Start by filling in the digital form with your personal and flight information. Ensure that your accommodation details are confirmed before you begin.

The process is designed to be quick and user-friendly. Once the form is complete, you will pay a processing fee to initiate the review by the Seychelles immigration authorities.

Stay Limits and Conditions

The permit is typically issued for the duration of your stay as shown on your travel documents. It allows for tourism and leisure but does not permit you to work in the Seychelles. You can learn more about stay validity to ensure your travel plans are in line with local regulations.

Processing Fees for Palauans

The cost of the Travel Authorisation depends on the speed of the service you choose. This fee covers the administrative review and the security screening performed by the immigration department. For current rates, please check the cost information page.

Review Timeframes

Mandatory Document List

Before you begin, ensure you have the following items ready. For more details on accepted file types, please visit the document checklist page.

• A valid Palau passport with six months of remaining validity.
• A digital scan of the bio-data page of your passport.
• A recent passport-style colour photograph.
• Confirmed return flight tickets.
• Proof of accommodation for the entire stay.
• A valid credit or debit card for the service fee.

Tracking Your Request

You can check the status of your application at any time. By using the reference number provided after your submission and your passport details, you can see if your permit has been issued. This ensures you have your documentation ready well before you arrive at the airport.

Common Rejection Scenarios

Rejections are rare but usually occur due to inaccurate data entry. For example, if your name is misspelled or your passport number is incorrect, the application may be denied. Another common issue is providing a blurry photo. Always review your submission carefully before completing the process.

Extensions and Overstaying

If you need to stay in the Seychelles longer than your initial permit allows, you must seek an extension from the immigration office. Staying past your allowed date without permission can result in penalties and may complicate future travel. It is vital to apply for an extension before your current permit expires.
