Passport Renewal/Lost Passport

The Republic of Seychelles is now issuing biometric passports in line with passports used by most of the world’s nations. As such, all passport renewals for new biometric passports using the current non-biometric passport must be done in Seychelles at the passport office. Alternatively, Seychellois nationals renewing a passport may visit a Seychellois Embassy in either Paris, London or Abu Dhabi. This service requires e-verification by Immigration Seychelles IN ADVANCE of the trip to the embassy. Renewing biometric passports in the future will not require a visit to Seychelles. 

Requirements remain the same for a new biometric Seychellois passport – SCR750, birth certificate, ID card etc… The new biometric passports will be issued for ten years for adults vs. the current five years and will make applying for visas and other entry requirements much easier for Seychellois nationals.

Current passports are still valid and can be used up to the expiration date printed on the inside cover.

Lost/Stolen Passports – In the event a Seychellois passport is lost or stolen while the bearer is overseas, the consulate can issue emergency travel documentation to Seychellois nationals which will enable them to return to Seychelles. Contact the consulate through the emergency number if you require this service. Proper documentation (National ID card, copy of lost/stolen passport etc…) is required.

 

To arrange this service please contact the consul here.
