Switzerland passport → Seychelles
Do Swiss citizens need a visa for the Seychelles?
Swiss passport holders need an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) before travelling to the Seychelles. It is a short online application, not a full visa.
Heads-up: some sources list this route as visa-free (90 days).
What this means for your trip
- Apply only on the official government site; third-party sites charge extra.
- Apply a few days before travel; most approvals are quick but some take longer.
- The authorisation is linked to your passport. A new passport needs a new application.
