Travellers should refer to the ICA website for the latest information on travelling to/from or transiting through Singapore.
Singaporeans do not need a visa to travel to Seychelles. All travellers must complete their Travel Authorisation, via the Seychelles Electronic Border System, prior to travel to Seychelles. This can be submitted up to 30 days before travel.
As entry restrictions may change at short notice, we advise you to contact your travel agency, or the nearest Embassy of Seychelles, to ensure that you have accurate information for your specific purpose prior to departure.
There should be at least six months' validity on your passport on the expected date of departure from Seychelles.
Overseas Travel – Be Informed & Be Safe [Updated on 3 September 2024]
Singaporeans planning overseas travel are reminded to take the necessary precautions, including being prepared to deal with accidents, natural disasters or terrorist attacks. Singaporeans are also reminded to be familiar with your destination’s local laws and customs.
Demonstrations do occur in major cities across the world. Such demonstrations can sometimes escalate into violence. It is important for Singaporeans to keep abreast of local news, avoid any protests or demonstrations and heed the advice of the local authorities.
When participating in outdoor leisure activities overseas, Singaporeans should be mindful that certain sporting activities, especially in open seas, may carry risks. Besides ensuring that one has the physical competencies and appropriate condition to undertake the activity, every effort should be made to ascertain if the trip organiser or guide is reliable and competent, and that appropriate safety and contingency plans are in place. When in doubt, Singaporeans should consult the relevant professional bodies or sporting associations for specific advice.

Advisory: Email Scams
There have been reports of individuals receiving scam emails/messages purportedly sent from friends in distress overseas. These emails/messages typically originate from an email address/social media known to the receiver bearing claims of the sender getting into trouble overseas and urgently requesting financial assistance. The sender would also claim to have approached a Singapore Embassy/Consulate and the local Police for help to no avail.
MFA takes the safety of all Singaporeans very seriously. Singaporeans in distress approaching our Overseas Missions for assistance will be rendered with all necessary consular assistance. If you receive such emails/messages from purported friends seeking funds transfers, we strongly advise you to call them first to verify the authenticity of the emails/messages before responding to their request. It is also not advisable to give out any personal information such as NRIC/passport numbers, address, telephone number, etc. Any form of reply, even one of non-interest, could result in more unsolicited emails. Members of the public who suspect that they have fallen prey to such scams should report the matter to the Police immediately.
Please note that Singapore has no diplomatic representation in Seychelles. Singaporeans who need consular assistance can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore at: Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duty Office (24-hours) Tanglin, Singapore 248163 Tel: 6379 8800, 6379 8855 Email: mfa_duty_officer@mfa.gov.sg
