Why applications on this route get refused
Travelling without an approved Travel Authorisation
Even though no visa is required, every traveler still needs an approved TA before arrival, this is easy to overlook precisely because Seychelles is known as visa-free.
How to avoid it: Apply for your Travel Authorisation well before you travel, even though it isn't called a visa.
Weak or insufficient financial proof
Unclear evidence of funds raises doubts about your ability to support the trip.
How to avoid it: Provide clear, recent evidence of funds that covers your planned stay.
No confirmed accommodation
A Visitor's Permit requires confirmed accommodation arrangements, not just a general plan.
How to avoid it: Book and confirm accommodation for your full stay before applying.
