Is a Permit Necessary?

Yes, all citizens of Turkmenistan must hold a valid Travel Authorisation. This digital system replaces the old paper arrival cards and is a prerequisite for boarding your flight to the islands.

Permit Variations

The system offers different options depending on your stay's intent. Most Turkmenistan nationals apply for the Tourism permit, but there are also specific forms for business or medical visits.

Validity and Stay

The permit is typically issued for a single entry. While it allows you to enter the country, the exact number of days you are allowed to stay is decided by the immigration officer on your arrival.

Processing Costs

The fees for obtaining the authorisation vary based on the urgency of the request and the current government rates. These costs are non-refundable and must be paid online. Check the fee breakdown for more info.

Review Timelines

Applications are reviewed by the authorities in the order they are received. However, you can choose a faster processing tier if your departure date is approaching quickly.

Processing Reference

Required Information

To ensure your application is successful, you should have the following documents ready for your digital submission:

• Your Turkmenistan passport (scanned clearly).
• Proof of your accommodation bookings in Seychelles.
• A recent digital photo of yourself.
• Your complete flight schedule, including the return leg.

For a full list of accepted formats, please visit our document page.

Completing the Form

The form is designed to be user-friendly. You will provide your identity details and answer a few security questions. Ensure you have your eligibility confirmed before starting the process.

Status Monitoring

After submission, you can check the progress of your application using your passport number. This helps you stay informed and plan your departure with confidence.

Reasons for Rejection

Most rejections are due to simple mistakes, such as typing the wrong passport number or uploading a blurry photo. Ensure all documents are legible and the information is 100% accurate.

Extensions and Expiry

If you wish to stay longer than your permit allows, you must visit the immigration department. Failing to extend your stay can lead to fines and may affect your ability to return to the Seychelles in the future.

Benefits of Our Platform

Common Enquiries

1. How do I receive the permit?

Once approved, the document is sent directly to the email address you provided in the form.

2. Can I apply for my family?

Yes, you can complete applications for family members, but each person must have their own individual permit.

3. Is health insurance mandatory?

While not always checked, it is highly recommended to have travel insurance for the duration of your stay.
