Question 1

Do Indian passport holders need a visa to visit Seychelles?

Accepted Answer

No, Indian passport holders enjoy visa-free entry to Seychelles. You will receive a Visitor's Permit on arrival, valid for up to 30 days and extendable to 3 months. You just need a valid passport, confirmed return ticket, proof of accommodation, and sufficient funds for your stay.

Question 2

When is the best time to visit Seychelles?

Accepted Answer

The best time to visit Seychelles is during the dry seasons: April to June and September to November. These months offer calm seas, sunny skies, and ideal conditions for snorkeling and beach activities. The northwest monsoon (October–March) and southeast trade winds (May–September) bring different conditions to different islands, so Seychelles is a year-round destination.

Question 3

What currency is used in Seychelles and what is the exchange rate?

Accepted Answer

The official currency of Seychelles is the Seychellois Rupee (SCR). 1 SCR is approximately 6–6.5 Indian Rupees. Credit cards are widely accepted at hotels and restaurants. USD, EUR, and GBP are also commonly accepted at tourist establishments, and ATMs are available in Mahé and Praslin.

Question 4

Which islands should I visit in Seychelles?

Accepted Answer

Seychelles has 115 islands, with three main ones for tourists. Mahé is the largest, home to the capital Victoria, stunning beaches like Beau Vallon and Anse Intendance, and the international airport. Praslin is known for Anse Lazio (one of the world's top beaches) and the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai, home to the rare Coco de Mer palm. La Digue is a small, car-free island famous for Anse Source d'Argent with its iconic granite boulders.

Question 5

How do I get to Seychelles from India?
