For a full list of nationalities that use this system, you can visit our eligible countries page.

Types of Authorisations

There are different permits based on the reason for your visit. Most people from Reunion go for tourism and need the standard permit.

There are also options for business trips or if you are just transiting through to another country. All of these can be applied for online.

How Long is the Permit Valid?

The permit is generally valid for the duration of your stay. For citizens of Reunion, this can be for up to 90 days depending on your travel plans.

For more specific details about stay limits, please visit our validity information page.

Application Fees

There is a processing fee for the electronic authorisation. This fee is paid online using a credit or debit card when you submit your form.

You can see the current costs for your nationality by checking the latest fee structure.

Review Times

The time it takes to process your application depends on how quickly you need it. You can choose from three different options.

What Documents are Required?

You will need to upload some digital documents as part of your online application. It's a good idea to have these ready before you start.

• Valid French passport (for Reunion residents)
• Proof of return or onward flight tickets
• A clear digital passport-style photo
• Confirmation of your hotel or guest house booking

The Application Process

The online form is straightforward. You will need to enter your personal details, passport information, and your flight and hotel details.

Be careful to enter all the information correctly so there are no problems when you arrive in Seychelles.

Check Your Status

You can track the progress of your application online. Just use your passport number and the reference code you received after submitting the form.

You will also receive an email with the final decision on your application as soon as it is ready.

Common Reasons for Rejection

Rejections are usually caused by incorrect or missing information. For example, if your passport photo is blurry, the system won't be able to read it.

Also, make sure your accommodation dates match your flight dates perfectly to avoid any questions from the authorities.

Stay Extensions

If you want to stay in Seychelles longer than your permit allows, you must visit the Immigration Office in Victoria to apply for an extension.

Make sure to do this before your current permit expires. Overstaying can lead to fines and other legal complications.

Tips for Reunion Travellers

Apply for your permit at least a 6-9 Working Days before you fly. This gives you time to fix any errors if your application is sent back for more info.
