What documents are required for the Seychelles e-visa and what if you don't have your return flight booked yet?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 7 days ago
TL;DR
For the Seychelles e-visa you need round-trip flight tickets, a passport valid for at least 6 months, and hotel bookings covering the entire stay; applications open 30 days before departure. If you don't have accommodation booked for every night, the visa may only be issued for the confirmed dates, and you'll need to send the remaining bookings later.
What the community said
Standard document package for the e-visa: round-trip flight tickets, a passport with at least 6 months validity remaining, and hotel booking confirmation. The system only allows submitting the application starting 30 days before departure.

The online application form requires exact arrival/departure dates and hotel bookings covering every single day of the trip. If you only have bookings for part of the stay (e.g. 3 out of 11 days), the visa may be approved only for those confirmed dates — you then need to contact support and submit the remaining bookings closer to departure.

Some travelers run into the issue of not having a return ticket yet when applying (e.g. the tour operator hasn't sent the booking) — this field is mandatory in the application, so it's difficult to properly submit the form without a round-trip ticket.
