Seychelles Travel Authorisation for Thailand Citizens
Entry Requirements for Thailand
Seychelles is a visa-free nation for Thai citizens for short periods of stay.
However, the electronic Travel Authorisation is a mandatory document for all arrivals.
This is not a traditional visa but a digital security and health screening permit.
Type of Permits Available
Tourist authorisation is the most common for those visiting the famous beaches.
Business entries are permitted for individuals attending professional events or meetings.
All types are processed through the same digital portal before you depart Thailand.
Document Checklist for Thai Travellers
Your Thailand passport must be valid for six months beyond your stay in Seychelles.
You need a digital copy of your airline ticket showing your return to Thailand or elsewhere.
A recent passport-style photo must be uploaded as part of your digital file.
