There are different types of permits depending on why you are visiting. Most travellers from Romania apply for the tourist permit for their holidays.
If you are travelling for business or just passing through the airport, there are specific categories for those as well. All can be applied for through the same online system.
How Long Can You Stay?
The permit is usually valid for the duration of your stay as shown on your flight tickets. For Romanian citizens, this can be for up to 90 days.

What Documents are Needed?
To finish your online application, you will need to upload digital copies of some key documents. It's best to have these ready on your computer or phone.
- Valid Romanian passport for at least 6 months
- Proof of your return or onward flight tickets
- A recent digital passport-style photograph
- Confirmation of your hotel or resort booking
The Application Form
The online form is easy to complete. You will need to enter your personal info, passport details, and information about your flight and where you are staying.
Be very careful to enter everything correctly so there are no issues when you try to board your flight or at the border.
Track Your Application
You can check the progress of your application online. Just use your passport number and the reference code you get 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
The main reason for rejection is providing incorrect or incomplete info. For example, a typo in your passport number can be a major problem.
Also, make sure your photo is clear and meets all the requirements. Blurry or dark photos are often rejected by the system.
Extending Your Stay
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.
It is important to do this before your current permit expires. Overstaying can lead to fines and other legal complications.
Tips for Romanian Travellers
Apply for your permit at least 3 days before you fly. This gives you enough time in case there are any questions about your application.
Keep a digital copy of your approved permit on your phone so you can show it even if you don't have internet access at the airport.
