The Seychelles has reviewed its entry requirement procedures, allowing Covid-19 vaccinated travelers to enter the country without quarantine.
Vaccinated travelers will still need to follow social distancing measures but won't need to self-isolate upon arrival. This was announced by minister for foreign affairs and tourism Sylvestre Radegonde.
Suppliers could soon have a tough decision on their hands: How to deal with travelers who won't get the vaccine.
To be recognized as "vaccinated," visitors must be able to show that they have taken the complete dose of the vaccine. They need to submit an authentic certificate from their national health authority as proof of Covid-19 vaccination alongside a negative Covid-19 PCR certificate obtained less than 72 hours prior to travel.
All visitors currently permitted entry (those from Category 1 and 2 countries, private jet passengers) will now need to show a negative PCR test obtained less than 72 hours prior to travel (as opposed to 48 hours, which was in force previously). Visitors who are not vaccinated or not coming from Category 1 or 2 countries or traveling by private jet are still unable to enter.
From mid-March, once the majority of the adult population in Seychelles is vaccinated, the country will open up to all visitors, vaccinated or not. At that point, visitors will only need a negative PCR test obtained less than 72 hours prior to travel.
