Seychelles has announced a gradual and cautious easing of travel restrictions, which will see the recommencement of travel to the Indian Ocean country as from June 1. A series of travel restrictions guidelines are in force during the month of June and will be reviewed periodically. The Seychelles health authorities have announced that during phase one of the re-opening of the Seychelles borders, only travellers from “low-risk” countries arriving through private jets and chartered passenger direct flights will be granted entry. A USD50 health fee is applicable to cover the necessary screening for each passenger upon arrival. However, all passengers must provide proof of accommodation in an approved establishment for the entire period of stay and must show booking vouchers at immigration on entry. A total of 19 countries have been identified by the Public Health Authority as low risk (where the epidemic appears to be under control) and they will be able to travel to the archipelago from June 1 during this easing of Seychelles travel restrictions. While China gets a place in the first list, India is absent from the same. The authorities will continue to monitor the situation in the following countries and entry could be considered with effect from mid-July 2020 to 17 more countries which also leaves India out while France and Italy make it to the second list.
