About the Seychelles Visa Medical

The Seychelles Visa Medical is a mandatory requirement for any foreign national applying for a Gainful Occupation Permit (GOP) for employment periods exceeding one month. Governed by the Ministry of Health and the Department of Immigration, this medical ensures that all expatriate workers meet the minimum health standards and do not pose a public health risk to the archipelago.

Who can apply?
Any non-Seychellois individual offered employment or seeking self-employment in Seychelles. This includes professionals, laborers, and those applying for a Residence Permit (who must certify they are not “mentally or physically defective”).

Eligible Visa Types:

  • Gainful Occupation Permit (GOP) – Work Permit
  • Residence Permit (Long-term stay)
  • Student’s Permit (Academic studies)
  • Dependent’s Permit (For spouses and children)

Requirements & Official Guidance:
Medical results for Seychelles must be original and are typically valid for a period of three months for initial applications. For the latest updates on immigration and GOP requirements, visit: Seychelles Immigration and Civil Status Official Site.
