Typically bring

• Passport with minimum 6‑month validity at entry
• Confirmed return or onward airline ticket
• Proof of accommodation (hotel booking, Airbnb, or invitation)
• Evidence of sufficient financial means (bank statement, credit card, cash)
• Travel insurance (highly recommended, though not always mandatory)

Watch out for

• Traveling with a passport that is close to expiration can lead to denial of entry.
• Not having a confirmed onward/return ticket may raise suspicion about overstaying.
• Insufficient proof of funds can result in additional questioning or refusal.
• Arriving on a non‑tourist visa‑free basis (e.g., for work or study) without the proper permit is not allowed.

• Internet connectivity is good in hotels and major resorts, with 4G coverage on the main islands.
• Seychelles is generally safe for tourists, but keep an eye on personal belongings on beaches and use reputable transport services.
