In the laidback waters of the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of East Africa, lie the tranquil group of islands known as the Seychelles islands. Known for its serene beaches and exotic cuisine, this is a great destination for those seeking a tan by the beach and have an appetite for an array of sea-food tasting. Travelers of all nationalities require no visa for entry to the Seychelles Islands; a valid passport, proof of accommodation and supporting funds is all you need. Travelers need a ‘visitor permit’ which is granted on arrival and is valid for 1 month, extendable for periods of 3 months at a time and maximum of 1 year in total.
Seychelles has some of the best beaches around. Anse Lazio (Praslin), Beau Vallon (Mahé) and Petite Anse (La Digue) to name a few. Pack a picnic, put on those swimming trunks (or better still, a bikini), bring out a hammock, and laze away to glory!
Passports can be so cruel to so many. I am very grateful for my Aussie one. Thanks for linking up with us for #SundayTraveler
Wonderful article! very well written and quite informative. Visa for Indians is really a big pain in the neck. 🙁 But I am so happpy to see these visa friendly destinations….

I feel your pain Medha; but I’m beginning to realize that there’s truth in the saying “where there’s a will there’s a way”
More power to you and I hope you manage to travel more 🙂
