Official wording

16. (1) On application being made in writing, an immigration officer may, subject to such conditions as he may deem necessary, issue a visitor’s permit to any person who- … (2) A visitor’s permit shall specify the period of its validity, being a period not exceeding 3 months from the date of its issue

Aevamo’s reading

The Immigration Decree (Cap 93) is the statute that creates the entry-permit regime: s.16 grants the visitor's permit to any qualifying person and fixes its maximum validity at three months, s.16(5) makes the permit the authority to enter and remain, and s.13(1)(a) exempts citizens from the permit regime. The department's 'Visiting Seychelles' page administers this scheme - reporting the operational position (no advance visa, permit on arrival) - rather than creating it.

Section 16(1) of the Immigration Decree grants the visitor's permit to 'any person' who is not a prohibited immigrant or existing permit-holder, and s.16(2) fixes the permit's initial validity at a period not exceeding 3 months from the date of issue; read with the department's statement (fieldSources.entryMode) that the permit is issued on arrival and no visa is required, this is the visitor's on-arrival permit entitlement and its three-month stay.

How the documents behind this regime are dated

ICS 'Visiting Seychelles' page (footer: '© 2026 Immigration and Civil Status Seychelles'); Immigration Decree (Cap 93), Laws of Seychelles, 'CONSOLIDATED TO 30 JUNE 2012'; the only later amendment found, the Immigration Decree (Amendment) Act 2025 (Act 11 of 2025, assented 7 August 2025), amends only the s.2 definition of 'passport' and leaves the cited provisions unchanged.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
