About this Visa
The Seychelles Student Permit lets international students study at schools in Seychelles. You get it when you're accepted to a school there. It's for people who want to study full-time, from high school to university level. You can live in Seychelles while you study. The permit lasts as long as your program lasts. You cannot work—not even part-time or unpaid work. This is the main rule. The visa is open to students from any country in the world. Getting it is fairly easy if you have proof of enrollment and enough money to pay for your studies.
Key Benefits
