UK ETA for Seychelles Nationals

The Seychelles is one of two African nationalities on the UK ETA list, which covers travel on or after 8 January 2025. Anyone travelling to the United Kingdom as a visitor on a Seychelles passport should have the ETA in place before departure.

Applying here takes a single online form. Regular Processing is $60 and takes 3 working days; Express Processing is $90 and takes 12-36 hours. Both are priced in US dollars for each person, so a couple pays twice.
