Is a Visa Required?
While Seychelles is generally visa-exempt, Tunisian travellers are required to have an approved Travel Authorisation. This digital document is a mandatory requirement for boarding any aircraft headed to the islands.
Available Permit Types
Most visitors choose the tourism-related permit. However, there are also categories for transit or business. It is important to select the correct purpose to ensure your stay remains compliant with local regulations.
Stay Limits
The entry permit typically allows for a stay of up to 30 days. It is important to note that this is for short-term visits only and does not allow the holder to seek employment within the Seychelles.
Understanding Processing Fees
The cost associated with the permit covers the mandatory government fees and the technical support provided by the platform. You can review the pricing structure to understand the total before submitting your data.
Timeline for Approval
Processing times are not fixed and depend on the volume of applications. Most requests are handled within 24 to 72 hours. However, those with imminent flights should choose a faster processing tier to ensure their documents arrive on time.
Timeline Overview
| Tier | Typical Review Time |
