Before you fly home
- Please note that Seychelles is currently considered as a risk area by some countries and an up-to-date SARS-CoV-2 PCR test or a rapid antigen test might be required for return travel. In addition, some airlines also require an up-to-date test for the return flight.
- For this purpose Seychelles have set up test stations on all main islands (Mahé, Praslin, La Digue) where you can do this test. Please contact one of the test stations (telephone numbers below) or the Public Health Authority (e-mail: covid19test@health.gov.sc/ tel +248 438 84 10) at least 5 - 7 days before your return flight to make an appointment.
- The PCR test costs SCR 2,500 (139 €), at private providers the test costs between SCR 3,000 and SCR 3,500 (about 167 - 195 €).
- The rapid antigen test costs between SCR 1,200 and SCR 1,500 (about 66 - 83 €).
