Is a Permit Required for Zimbabweans?

Required Documents Checklist

Before starting your online application, please have these items ready:

• Valid Zimbabwean passport (at least 6 months validity).
• A digital photo of your face (passport size).
• Proof of accommodation in the Seychelles.
• Confirmed return or onward flight ticket.

Available Permit Types

Tourism

For holidays and exploring the islands' natural beauty.

Business

For attending meetings, conferences, or trade events.

Transit

For short layovers while travelling to a third country.

Stay and Validity Info

The permit's validity is usually tied to your flight dates and stay duration. It is generally for a single entry. For more details on stay limits, please visit the validity information page.

Application Costs

The total fee depends on the type of permit and the processing speed you select. Prices can vary, so it is best to check the cost summary for the most up-to-date details.

Processing Speed Choices

Zimbabwean applicants can choose from three processing levels:

How to Apply

The process is simple and entirely online. You fill out a form with your personal and travel details, upload your documents, and pay the fee. Your request is then sent to the Seychelles authorities for review.

Monitoring Status

You can track the progress of your application online using your passport number and the reference code provided after submission. This keeps you informed about your approval before your flight.

Avoiding Denial

Common reasons for denial include typos in passport data or uploading an unclear photo. Ensure all your details are correct and match your passport exactly. Refer to our checklist for guidance.

Expired Permits and Extensions

If you need to stay longer, you must apply for an extension with the immigration office in Victoria. Overstaying without permission can result in fines and legal issues. Always plan to leave within the time allowed on your permit.

Tips for Success

Apply at least 3-5 Working Days before your trip to allow time for processing. Ensure your photo is bright and your face is clear. Keep a digital copy of your approved permit on your phone for easy access.
