Summary

Students accepted by an approved Seychelles institution can seek a Student Permit to live there for their course. The application combines admission and identity records with proof of personal or sponsored funding. Immigration may also request accommodation evidence and charges a processing fee plus an annual permit fee.

The permit covers the approved studies and dates. An offer of admission or permission to visit Seychelles does not authorize study residence by itself, and the Student Permit does not permit employment or guarantee a work route after graduation.
