Is an Entry Permit Mandatory?

Yes. Vatican City passport holders must apply for a Travel Authorisation prior to arrival. This digital document is a strict requirement for entering the country and cannot be obtained upon arrival at the airport.

Stay Duration and Validity

The permit validity is usually tied to your specific travel dates. You should review the validity information to ensure your stay remains within legal limits. Most permits allow for a single entry.

Cost of the Permit

Processing fees vary based on the urgency and the type of stay. Each application incurs a government fee and a processing charge. You can find more details on the cost breakdown page.

Types of Visit Permits

Tourist Permit

For leisure, sightseeing, and religious visits.

Business Permit

For official meetings or professional networking.

Medical Permit

For those seeking specialised treatments in the islands.

Required Documents

To ensure a smooth application, have these documents available:

• Valid Vatican City passport (check expiry date).
• A digital photo with a plain background.
• Proof of your accommodation in the Seychelles.
• Your complete flight itinerary.

How the Form Works

The application is a brief online form. You will provide your identity details and answer a few questions about your health and travel history. Once you upload your passport and photo, you pay the fee to submit.

Processing Timeframes

You can select from three processing speeds depending on your needs:

Monitoring Your Application

You can track your status using your passport number and the reference code provided. This ensures you stay informed of any updates or if the authorities require additional clarification regarding your documents.

Common Reasons for Denial

Incomplete information is the most frequent cause of rejection. If your passport scan is cut off or your photo doesn't meet the standards, your application may be refused. Check the document guide to prevent these errors.

Expired Permits and Extensions

If you need to stay past your permit's expiry, you must apply for an extension. Visit the immigration authorities in Victoria to start the process. Overstaying without a valid extension can result in fines and travel restrictions.

Top Tips for Applicants

Ensure all your travel dates match across all documents. Use a valid email address that you can access on your mobile device. Double-check your passport number for any typos before you hit submit.
