Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span> .Seychelles is one of the many places that have adopted a special visa for remote workers or \u2018digital nomads\u2019
\n.The African archipelago nation is hoping to attract more working professionals who want a long stay in Seychelles
\n.The ‘workcation’ programme allows eligible visitors to stay in Seychelles for a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of 1 year<\/p>\n

The Seychelles Tourism Department is inviting professionals and digital nomads to take advantage of the workcation programme which allows remote workers to stay on the beautiful island for up to a year.<\/p>\n

Seychelles’ Principal Secretary of Tourism, Sherin Francis, says the permit application process is straightforward and involves less red tape and admin fees compared to the standard long-term stay.<\/p>\n

Visitors from any country independent of vaccination status can apply for the special permit.<\/p>\n

Both self-employed people and workers employed by foreign companies can apply for the programme.<\/p>\n

When applying for the workcation permit, visitors will have to provide a letter of employment or proof of ownership of a business, a valid passport, a provisional onward ticket, provisional proof of confirmed accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay.<\/p>\n

We launched the workcation programme early last year and it was mainly to facilitate visitors who would like to work and visit Seychelles at the same time.<\/p>\n

Sherin Francis, Principal Secretary Tourism Department – Tourism Seychelles
\nIt gives visitors the choice if they want to come for a longer period and work virtually while they are in Seychelles, it is very much possible.<\/p>\n

Sherin Francis, Principal Secretary Tourism Department – Tourism Seychelles
\nWhat you need to do is to pre-book your flight and your pre-book your preferred accommodation which has to be certified.<\/p>\n

Sherin Francis, Principal Secretary Tourism Department – Tourism Seychelles
\nOnce you get your workcation permit, it will allow you to stay in Seychelles for up to one year but it will be renewable every six months.<\/p>\n
