Health Requirements Although the Seychelles are situated in the tropics, it has an extremely good climate in which very little diseases occur. There is no malaria, yellow fever, cholera or many of the tropical diseases that can be found elsewhere in Africa. It is always best, however, to get medical insurance before coming and to bring any prescription medicines that you require.
- Food and water: Although food and water is generally considered safe, it is recommended that visitors stick to bottled water to avoid any possibility of an upset stomach
- Immunisation: It’s recommended that you see your doctor for any immunisations that may be needed, these may include Hepatitis A or B, Typhoid and Tetanus, arrange to see a health practitioner well in advance of travelling
- Yellow fever: A vaccination certificate is necessary for travellers entering the Seychelles from a yellow fever infected area
- Sunburn: Be sure to take lots of high factor sun lotions and sun block as well as a hat to protect yourself against the sun, which is extremely harsh in Africa. Do not underestimate the sun, even on overcast days it is possible to burn very badly
Entry Requirements
- Passports: All visitors should be in possession of a passport valid for at least six months
- Visas: Are not required, but check with your nearest consulate for up-to-date information
