No passport in the world needs a visa for the Seychelles — a visitor’s permit is issued on arrival for the length of the stay, up to three months, and can be extended in three-month steps to a year. What is compulsory is the Travel Authorisation, for every traveller including infants, applied for up to 30 days before departure. Immigration also asks for a return ticket, confirmed accommodation for every night, and funds of about US$150 a day.

Every other passport
The answer is the same for every passport: no visa, and a compulsory Travel Authorisation before you fly.
How to get it: Apply at seychelles.govtas.com, which is the government’s own portal and the only one — the lookalike sites charge several times the fee. You need the flight booking, the accommodation booking for each place you will stay, and a card. Standard processing is EUR 10 and takes up to 24 hours; turning up without one is a EUR 30 penalty and you fill it in on your own phone before immigration will see you. It covers one journey, so a stopover in and out needs two. Separately, accommodation collects an environmental levy of EUR 6 per person per night.
Seychelles Travel Authorisation — required
When: Before you fly. It is checked at boarding, not only on arrival.
Have ready: passport, flight number, the full address of your first night, your travel insurance details.
