🇮🇳 Does an Indian need a visa for Seychelles 🇸🇨?
Visa on arrival. Indian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Seychelles, usually at the airport or land border.
Rule updated from Wikipedia's “Visa requirements for Indian citizens” (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
A visa on arrival is issued at the port of entry. Expect a fee, a passport photo and sometimes proof of onward travel and accommodation.
Not every airport or land border issues it, and some nationalities are sent to secondary checks; confirm the entry point before you 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.
