About the Seychelles Passport
The Seychelles passport ranks 17th, placing it in the strong tier. It gives visa-free access to 105 destinations, and total mobility, which also counts eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa entry, stands at 161.
Its reach is widest in Europe, with 44 visa-free destinations, and thinnest in South America, with three. In practice, holders can enter France and the Schengen area, China, Singapore, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates without applying first. The United Kingdom is open with an eTA, and Australia is an e-Visa destination. The United States, Canada and Japan remain visa-required, so trips there need paperwork well ahead of travel. Seychellois travelers therefore enjoy easy access to much of Europe and Asia but face the usual hurdles in North America. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 21 destinations.
Visa-Free Access by Region
Seychelles passport holders can enter 105 destinations visa-free or with a simple eTA. Destinations with a green outline have residency or citizenship programs you can explore.

Asia 16
