Life as a digital nomad in the Seychelles by Diksha
Hi everyone, Digital nomadism has become more and more popular in the past few months and the Seychelles seems to be the perfect spot for it. If you are a digital nomad yourself, please share with us your experience of this new way of working in ...
I don't know how it is now but when I left the Seychelles in 2015, digital nomadism was a nightmare as only Cable&Wireless was offering Internet at not such high speed and at big prices. It was free from 12 am to 6 am but being at the end of ... Read More
Citizenship by descent if my grandfather was Mauritian? by Parfumsisabelle
I am trying to find the decree from the Government re. citizenship by descent as I seem to remember that it also applies to grandchildren of people born in Mauritius. Could anyone lead me to the right place? My grandfather was born in 1904 ...
Thank you. Yes it was the Diaspora scheme. My grandfather was born from both Mauritian parents but when it was under French protectorate. Then it became British and they became British subjects. When they moved to Madagascar, they remained British ... Read More

Thank you for your reply. It clarifies things then. The decree I had read in 2015 a few months after the new government was elected included 'grandchildren of a Mauritian national' who could apply to obtain permanent residence if they could ... Read More

UNIMORESSED : Work Permit by guestposter623
Hi All! So I signed a job offer with this network company, I did all the medical health checks they needed etc (at my expense) only for them to tell me a month later (I am unemployed now because I thought I was relocating) that the ...
I think they have clamped down on the expats they need, particularly in the tourism industry. What is strange is that your potential employer is the one who should follow up on this. But still if the authorities reckon that a Seychellois can do the ... Read More

We got married in the Seychelles and I can assure you that they ask for all the documents in good order (divorce papers, birth certificate etc...) in the same way as the UK in order to accept marrying you. You also need to have been in the ... Read More

To get a GOP, you need a job offer from a company that will arrange it for you. The GOP would be granted for the period of your employment, provided that the company proves that a Seychellois cannot do the job and if the company terminates your ... Read More
Horse riding/leasing a horse by justlooking60
My husband has been offered a job at Mahe airport. A condition of my joining him is being able to ride. I have done lots of research on the internet but have not been able to find a single horse on Mahe! Surely they do exist?
The only place where I saw horses (2 only) recently is in La Digue Union Estate. In Mahe, there used to be a horse riding place in Baie Lazare but I don't think they are around any longer. You might have to fly out of the Seychelles to the ... Read More
Website for employment information by Patrickvalmont
Hi friends of Explat Blog, Trust you are well. Just a heads up that you now have a website for information on job in Seychelles and other useful information. Have a look. www.employment.gov.sc
If you look under the FAQ about Labour Migration, it says non-Seychellois are not allowed to apply for a job and that 'all applications should be done through a prospective employer except where the person is: A shareholder to the company A ... Read More
Contact Lenses by RockyRaccoon
Hi everyone Is it possible to buy contact lenses in Seychelles without a prescription? If yes, how expensive are they?
Hi RockyRacoon, I get them from GetLenses in the UK. They ship internationally and because the weight is not heavy, the shipping costs are reasonable. But you need to know what you need. I also take a few packs back from Europe when I go there. Read More
