With effect from today, November 2, 2022, international outbound passengers will be able to submit embarkation information digitally as they prepare to exit the territory, the government has announced.

Residents, i.e. citizens and permit holders starting their travel from Seychelles, will be required to log on to the website: https://seychelles.govtas.com or download the App (Seychelles E-Border) from App Store or Google Play and fill in the information requested in the declaration.

Upon their return to the country, citizens and permit holders will only have to fill in their flight details, the negative PCR test result (if applicable) health and customs information, as the App would already have their personal details should they have used the App to complete their embarkation information form. An automatic acknowledgement of the declaration will ensue.

This development comes just over a year, following the successful introduction of the ‘paperless’ disembarkation information, which inbound passengers can submit from the comfort of their abode.

Citizens starting their journey from outside Seychelles would have already had their details captured when filling in the disembarkation information form through the App, therefore eliminating the need to provide the same upon departure.

The coming online of this declaration process represents the determination of the Seychelles air transport and border control authorities to make use of digital applications to enhance travellers’ experience while ensuring that internal standards in security and facilitation are adhered to.
