Seychelles Travel Authorisation for Swedish Nationals
Requirement for Swedish Passport Holders
Sweden is a visa-exempt country for the Seychelles. However, you must obtain a Travel Authorisation before you depart. This replaces the old paper entry forms.
This digital document is essential. Airlines will check for your approved authorisation before allowing you to board your flight from Stockholm or any other departure point.
Types of Entry Permits
The standard tourist permit is used by the majority of Swedish visitors for holidays, beach stays, and ecological exploration. It is designed for short-term leisure travel.
If you are travelling for work, specialized business permits are required. Ensure you select the correct category on the digital form to match your travel intent.
Stay Duration and Validity
The entry permit is usually valid for the length of your trip as specified in your flight and hotel bookings. It is generally for a single entry into the Seychelles.
For more information on stay limits and how entry conditions are applied, visit our validity guide.
Processing Costs
The cost of the Travel Authorisation includes the government's administrative fees and the service fee for processing your application. This total depends on the speed of service you select.

Understanding the Form
The digital form is brief and asks for your biographical data, flight details, and health information. It is designed to be completed in about 10 minutes.
Once you submit the form, a reference number will be generated. Keep this number as it is your main point of reference for tracking your application.
Tracking Your Permit
You can verify the status of your authorisation using your passport and reference numbers. This ensures you stay informed about the progress of your review.
The final approval will be sent to your email as a digital file. We recommend saving this to your phone and bringing a printed copy for easy access.

Avoiding Common Rejections
The most frequent cause for a denied permit is incorrect data entry. Ensure your name is spelled exactly as it appears in your Swedish passport.
Another issue is blurred document uploads. High-quality scans and photos are essential for the digital verification process used by the island authorities.
Expired Permits and Extensions
If your permit is set to expire while you are still in the Seychelles, you must visit the immigration office in Victoria to apply for an extension.
Overstaying can result in fines and legal complications. Always check your exit date on your permit to ensure you depart or extend in a timely manner.
