How to Monitor Progress

You can check your status at any time. Simply enter your passport number and the reference ID provided in your confirmation email. This allows you to see if the authorities require any additional documents.

Common Application Errors

Errors often stem from uploading blurry passport copies. Another common mistake is providing a hotel booking that does not cover the full duration of the stay. Ensure your flight dates match your accommodation dates perfectly.

Permit Extension Procedures

If you decide to stay longer in the Seychelles, you must visit the Immigration Office in Victoria. You will need to bring your current permit, passport, and proof of funds. It is best to apply for an extension before your current stay expires to avoid fines.

Tips for a Smooth Process

Use a high-quality camera for your selfie. Ensure your passport scan shows the machine-readable zone clearly. Always review the document requirements one last time before clicking submit.
