Are you fidgeting with excitement about visiting the paradisiac islands of Seychelles? Do you want to retreat into the quietness and serenity of everything, with a dash of thrill sprinkled throughout the trip? Consider a travel insurance policy if you have taken care of the different facets of your travel, such as flight tickets and hotel bookings.
In an ideal world, you would not need a travel insurance policy, but unfortunately, in this world, international traveling is fraught with uncertainties and mishaps. You might fall ill, meet with an accident, lose your wallet or baggage in transit, or have a thousand other things go wrong.
Only some things might go as planned, and a travel insurance policy is essential to cover those situations so your pocket does not suffer the brunt.
Although purchasing a travel insurance policy is not compulsory for travel to Seychelles, you must do so whenever you visit an international location.
A travel insurance policy will significantly reduce your financial burden in any mishap or medical emergency.
A $50,000 Seychelles Travel insurance plan from India for 4 days for 1 adult starts from ₹665 (excluding GST).
Indian citizens visiting Seychelles do not require a Seychelles visa to enter the country. However, after reaching the island nation, tourists must still acquire a permit from the country's immigration department. This permit remains valid for 30 days after its issuance and can be extended for up to 3 months from its date of issuance.
