What Seychellois Need to Know About ETIAS
ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is a new pre-screening system for visa-exempt travelers heading to Europe's Schengen Area. As Seychellois citizens, you will need to apply for ETIAS online before entering any of the 30 Schengen countries.
The good news: ETIAS is straightforward, affordable, and valid for multiple trips over 3 years. Most applications are processed in minutes.
