Visa Overview

Seychelles is for the high-end nomad. The visa itself is cheap, but living there is not. It's one of the most beautiful places on Earth, perfect for a one-year bucket list experience.

Pet Entry & Rules

Extremely difficult. There is a mandatory quarantine and a long list of prohibited breeds. Not recommended for pet travel.

Tax Residency

Seychelles does not tax foreign-sourced income for those on the Workcation Retreat program.
