Vaccinated Indians can visit Seychelles


As India battles the sudden rise in COVID-19 outbreak, many countries are issuing new travel advisories.

Seychelles which had opened its borders for tourists from across the globe (since March 25, 2021) mainly thanks to its aggressive vaccination campaign has recently announced that only vaccinated visitors from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh who have completed two weeks after their second dose are permitted to travel to and enter Seychelles with proof of COVID-19 vaccination. They should also have a negative report from a RT-PCR test that has been done not more than 72 hours prior to the journey.

The best part is that there will be no quarantine requirement, minimum stay nor restriction on movement for them upon entry into Seychelles. Visitors will naturally have to follow existing health protocols - social distancing, wearing face masks, regular sanitization etc. Also, all tourism operators are expected to follow the existing COVID-19 standard operating procedures and protocol.
