π©πΏ Does an Algerian need a visa for Seychelles πΈπ¨?
No visa, but an ETA. Algerian passport holders do not need a visa for Seychelles, but must get an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) online before travelling.
Rule updated from Wikipedia's βVisa requirements for Algerian citizensβ (checked 2026-10-04); the older passport-index dataset (January 2025) listed Visa-free for up to 90 days. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Seychelles or its official government website before you travel.
What this means for your trip
An ETA (electronic travel authorisation) is not a visa: it is an online pre-screening that airlines check before boarding.
It is normally approved within minutes to a few days; apply before you book non-refundable travel.
Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.
