Africa-Press – Seychelles. The Agency for Social Protection has announced the implementation of the Social Security (Retirement Age) Regulations 2025, which will officially set the retirement age at 63 years from January 2026.
To clarify the changes under the Social Security Act (Cap. 225), the agency’s chief executive, Roma Edmond, held a press conference yesterday at Oceangate House, explaining what the new regulations mean for contributors, pensioners, and the general public.
“Individuals aged 63 to 64 can begin submitting their retirement applications. We are therefore appealing to persons within this age group to come forward and start the application process as from Monday,” she said.
Applications should be submitted as early as possible, as an administrative process must be completed beforehand. Once the law comes into force on January 1, 2026, individuals who have already applied will begin receiving their payments by the end of January.
