WORK PERMIT IN SEYCHELLES

Foreigners working in Seychelles require a Gainful Occupation Permit (GOP) issued by the Immigration Division, Department of Internal Affairs, and a processing fee of Rs600. The permit allows the holder to reside and work in Seychelles either as a company employee or self-employed person.

The application must be submitted at least 10 weeks prior to starting work and applicants are not permitted to enter Seychelles for the purpose of taking up employment before obtaining the GOP. The latter carries a fee of Rs1500 per month or part thereof.
