Seychelles Will Reopen to 'All Visitors' Regardless of Vaccination Status

The Seychelles has said it will welcome all visitors, regardless of their vaccination status, from March 25.

The announcement comes as the Indian Ocean archipelago’s vaccination programme picks up pace. The islands are hoping that hoping the majority of adult residents will be vaccinated by mid-March.

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Sylvestre Radegonde, said: “The vaccination campaign has been quite successful. The government has done everything in its power to make sure that the population is protected.”

Visitors will still be required to present a negative PCR test taken 72 hours prior to departure and visitors from South Africa are excluded until further review.

A minimum stay rule in establishments upon arrival will no longer be applicable, and visitors will be allowed to access communal areas within resorts, such as bars and pools.
