⚠️ Important Notes
Seychelles operates a Visitor Permit system rather than a traditional visa on arrival. All visitors, including Pakistani passport holders, receive free entry permission at the airport. The initial stay granted may be 30 days, which can be extended up to 90 days by visiting the Seychelles Department of Immigration. Ensure your passport is valid for the entirety of your intended stay, as Seychelles does not require a specific additional validity beyond the stay period. No yellow fever vaccination is required unless you are arriving from a yellow fever endemic country.
