Seychelles Travel Guidance for Turkish Nationals
Requirement for Turkey
Turkish passport holders must apply for a Travel Authorisation prior to their flight. This applies to all visitors, including those travelling for tourism, transit, or short-term business engagements.
Entry Categories
There are various types of digital permits depending on your reason for travel. Most holidaymakers will apply for a standard visitor permit, which covers leisure activities and visiting friends or family.
Stay Permissions
The approved document typically allows for a short stay. It is important to remember that this authorisation is for temporary visits and does not grant the right to live or work in Seychelles indefinitely.
Payment Details
The cost for the digital permit consists of the official government processing fee and a service charge for using the online platform. Fees depend on how quickly you need your document reviewed. View more on the cost page.
Review Options
Best for those with more than a week before travel.
Designed for departures within the next 4-7 Working Days.
For travellers who need a decision within 3-5 Working Days.
Document Requirements
Gathering the correct files before you start will make the process much faster. Ensure everything is in a clear, digital format.
- Turkish passport valid for at least six months from arrival.
- Proof of travel insurance covering your entire stay.
- A high-quality digital photo of the traveller.
- Documentation of your return flight and hotel bookings.
You may check the validity rules to ensure your passport meets the criteria.
The Application Form
The form is simple and can be completed on a smartphone or computer. You will enter your flight number, accommodation address, and personal data. Make sure all information matches your passport exactly.
Tracking Your File
Once you finish the submission, you can monitor your application. Use your passport number and the reference code sent to your email to see the current status of your request.
Why Applications Fail
Rejections often stem from providing incorrect flight information or uploading photos that do not meet the quality standards. Double-check your details to ensure a smooth approval process.
Permit Extension
If you wish to extend your holiday, you must visit the Immigration Office in Seychelles. It is better to do this well before your current permit expires to avoid fines or legal issues.
