Seychelles drops its last Covid-19 travel measure

Posted by Olerato Ramafsi on 1 December 2022

Entry in Seychelles will resume to pre-covid protocols from Thursday, 1 December 2022, as the last Covid-19 travel requirements will be removed for entry in Seychelles.

Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated visitors disembarking in Seychelles will no longer be required to present a negative PCR or antigen test to be allowed entry into the country.

Similarly, fully vaccinated passengers would not require to show proof of vaccination either. However, all visitors will be required to complete their travel declaration online here. Proof of valid travel insurance to cover any potential COVID-19-related costs is also required.

Commenting on the matter, Sherin Francis, Principal Secretary for Tourism, stated that the industry’s recovery is almost complete. ‘As a small island destination, Seychelles is heavily dependent on tourism, we needed the last of these measures to be removed and for travel to be as unobstructed as possible,’ Francis said.

‘Today, as the destination’s arrival numbers are skyrocketing to pre-pandemic figures, we mark another important moment for travellers.’

Visitors planning a holiday in Seychelles are encouraged to book their accommodation and leisure activities through licensed local service providers and operators. Consisting of 115 islands, Seychelles is a pristine paradise, renowned for its turquoise waters and emerald rain forests, and is the only group of granitic islands [made of granite rock] in the world.
