Extending is relatively easy if you apply early: you need a confirmed accommodation booking and a flight ticket (return or onward), and immigration needs time to process the request.

For guidance on extending your stay, travelers can consult their country's consulate in Seychelles (Russian expats mention the Russian consul as a helpful contact).
