Reopening of Seychelles to Czech citizens!

18.01.2021 - In connection with the launch of the immunisation campaign, the Seychelles Government has decided to resume tourism activities and open its country to all foreign visitors, including citizens of the Czech Republic. The adoption of the new measures will be under way in the following two phases:

Until mid-March:
With immediate effect, entry is allowed to all visitors vaccinated against COVID-19, at least two weeks after receiving the second dose of the vaccine, and who show the relevant vaccination certificate and submit a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours. Unvaccinated visitors, who are currently admitted (1 and 2 country categories) are required to submit a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours. The entry ban at this stage continues to apply to unvaccinated visitors and visitors not coming from 1 and 2 country categories.

From mid-March:
Once the majority of the adult population in Seychelles has been vaccinated, the country will be open to all unvaccinated visitors. Only a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours and adherence to current health measures (wearing face masks, social distancing, etc.) will be required.
