Poland to Seychelles
Do I need a visa for Seychelles?
Polish citizens do not need a visa to travel to Seychelles for tourism, but you must hold an approved electronic travel authorisation (ETA) that is applied for online before departure. The ETA is an authorisation, not a visa, and it does not permit paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
Your accepted travel document is a biometric passport. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. A national identity card, a driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry on this route.
Are vaccinations required for Seychelles?
No vaccinations are required for this tourist route. Confirmation of yellow fever vaccination is required only if your journey begins in, or passes through, a yellow-fever-endemic area.
No other routine or recommended vaccinations are specified for this route.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
An electronic travel authorisation (ETA) must be approved before you depart. The permitted length of stay is not stated here. Arrival registration is required and is completed online through the official Seychelles entry‑registration portal.
Can children travel on this route?
Children under 18 travel on the same terms as adults and need only the accepted travel documents listed above. No additional parental‑consent letters or extra paperwork are required for minors on this route.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel medical insurance is recommended but is not a condition of entry for Polish tourists to Seychelles. If you choose insurance, cover that includes medical evacuation is suggested by official guidance.
Where do I get the visa?
The ETA and arrival registration are applied for and completed online through the official Seychelles entry‑registration portal. There is no in‑person application at an embassy or consulate; once granted you hold an electronic authorisation rather than a physical visa sticker.
