Electronic Border System

Seychelles' border procedures are now fully digital to ensure that travel in and out of the country is paperless, quicker and more convenient. These procedures involve security screening done in advance by the Seychelles Authority to reduce border threats and ensure the country's safety. All travelers need to complete these procedures using the Seychelles Electronic Border System before entering and leaving Seychelles. There are different requirements for citizens, permit holders and visitors.

Are you a frequent traveller?

Designed with convenience in mind, the Seychelles e-border app allows travellers to submit immigration details, health declarations, and other entry requirements before arrival, reducing waiting times at borders and preventing potential delays. For frequent travellers, the app offers significant benefits by saving time on repeated form-filling, allowing the reuse of previously submitted information, and providing quick access to real-time updates on entry protocols. It also enhances security by giving border authorities timely access to essential data, making the process more transparent and secure.
