Why Seychelles?

On the Seychelles you will indulge into a nearly unaffected island world. Discover the wonderful landscape with its unique nature, the pitoresque bays and the crystal clear water. The isolated location amidst the Indian Ocean is responsible for the nearly unaffected landscape. The islands are a paradise of peace, caring for total relaxation in small hotels.

 

The Seychelles popularity has lots of reasons:

– Easy access with only little time difference (+2 hours in summer)
– good flight connection with Condor once a week or daily flights with scheduled airlines lika Ethiad via Abu Dhabi or Emirates via Dubai
– Uncomplicated entry regulations: valid passport with two free pages, no visum on entry. You only need return flight ticket, hotel voucher and enough financial means when entering the country.
– Tropical climate year-round, ideal destination for bathing holidays with wonderful beaches and unique underwater world
– “Festival Kreol”: one week in March and in October where cultural events referring to Creole traditions take place

Tips before your Departure

Entry

For a stay up to 90 days, Germans and Austrians need a passport that has to be valid for at least 6 more months after leaving the country. Additionally you have to present return ticket, hotel voucher as well as enough financial means when entering. Then you will receive a visa for the planned duration of your stay. For children you will need a German children’s passport, an own passport or a child ID (with passport photo) per old sample. Inhabitants of other countries should ask for their respective entry requirements at their responsible Embassy.  

Health

Besides sunscreen and your personal first-aid kit we recommend medicine for diarrhea due to the climatic change. When entering Mozambique through a country declared as yellow fever endemia area you need the certification of a valid yellow fever inoculation. Beyond that, no immunizations are required, but please ask your doctor or local health authority before departure. In addition we suggest you invest in a travel health insurance, and will be happy to inform you about it.
