About this Visa
The Seychelles Visitors' Workcation Permit is for people who want to work remotely from paradise. It is designed for digital nomads, freelancers, and employees with jobs outside Seychelles. This visa allows you to live on the islands while keeping your job back home. You can stay for up to one year while working online. You strictly cannot take jobs from local businesses or work for companies based in Seychelles. Your income must come from foreign sources. This permit is unique because it is very easy to get and affordable. It treats you like a long-term visitor rather than a permanent resident. You do not pay local income taxes on your foreign earnings.
