Seychelles Passeport

The Seychelles passport is currently one of the strongest in Africa, offering significant travel mobility for its holders. As of 2026, the passport ranking sits at 23rd globally, a notable improvement from its 46th position in 2006. Seychellois citizens enjoy access to 155 destinations without a prior visa, including 115 visa-free locations and 25 through visa-on-arrival. A key advantage of this passport is its guaranteed Schengen access, allowing for seamless travel across most of Europe. Additionally, five destinations, including the United Kingdom and South Korea, are accessible via Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). Beyond visa-free and visa-on-arrival entry, the Seychelles passport provides access to 25 countries through visa-online systems, such as India, Vietnam, and Azerbaijan. However, formal visa applications are still required for 46 destinations, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. With an openness score of 78 and a global score of 74, the passport continues to facilitate international movement. Popular visa-free destinations for Seychellois nationals include China, Brazil, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates, reflecting the high level of global integration and diplomatic strength the Seychelles has achieved over the last two decades.
