HOST COUNTRY INFORMATION NOTE
2
1. SEYCHELLES PROFILE
Information about Seychelles can be accessed at: http://www.seychelles.travel/en. This includes
information on geography, climate, history, and attractions.
2. LANGUAGES
Seychelles is trilingual, speaking Creole, English and French.
3. POPULATION
The population of Seychelles stood at 95,821 at 31st December 2017.
4. ECONOMY
The mainstay of the economy is the tourism and the fisheries industries, where the former
contributes almost 70% of the foreign exchange earnings.
Classified as a high income country by World Bank since July 2015, the people of Seychelles
enjoy a relatively high standard of living. In addition, the country boasts modern infrastructures
in terms of buildings, telecommunication and utility services.
5. TRAVEL AND VISA
Seychelles is a visa-free country meaning that there are no visa requirements for any person
wishing to travel to this country. However, for any nationals, they should have in their
possession a valid passport or other travel documents recognised by Seychelles to be awarded
entry into the country. The passport must be valid for the period of the intended stay, until
arrival back in the holder’s country of origin or residence.
A visitor’s permit is issued on arrival in Seychelles, as long as the person meets the following
criteria:
a) is not a prohibited immigrant;
b) is not holder of a valid permit which entitles that holder to reside in Seychelles;
c) holds a valid return or onward ticket for the duration of the visit;
d) has confirmed accommodation; and
e) has sufficient funds for the duration of the stay (minimum of US$ 150 or equivalent per day).
6. MEETING HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
There is no risk of yellow fever in Seychelles. If arriving from a country where yellow fever is
endemic, the Government of Seychelles will require proof of yellow fever vaccination (i.e. you
will be required to present a valid yellow fever certificate) to be allowed entry into Seychelles.
Seychelles is also malaria-free.
7. CURRENCY
3
The local currency is the Seychelles Rupee (SCR), but most tourist services, including
accommodation, can be paid in Euros, either in cash or with payment cards.
ATMs are generally found around the three main islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, and
will only dispense SCR. Money exchange services are provided by banks, money changers, and
hotels. There are banks, money changers and ATM facilities at the Seychelles International
Airport.
8. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR DIALOGUE
The Public and Private Sector Dialogue (PPSD) will be launched on 7th September, 2018 after the
ESAAMLG Council of Ministers’ meeting. This will be followed by a gala dinner.
On 8th September, 2018 three areas critical to developing robust AML/CFT regimes will be
discussed in the Plenary.

Notes:
1. Most hotels have blocked rooms until the first week of July 2018. However, all participants are encouraged
to make their bookings as early as possible to avoid disappointment. It should be noted that September
falls within our peak season, therefore delegates will be competing with holiday- makers for all available
accommodations. As a result, we are strongly encouraging delegates to guarantee bookings latest mid July
2018.
2. All bookings will have to be made via the reservation department or the hotel’s website, to ensure that the
corporate rates apply. Use of booking engines are not advisable as delegates will not secure the agreed
corporate rates.
3. All rates are inclusive of Breakfast and Complimentary Wi-Fi (unless otherwise stated)
4. Dependent on client uptake, hotel may increase the number of rooms being offered.
5. Extras at Hotels:
Please note that all your extras including alcoholic beverages, meals consumed outside hosted times,
laundry, telephone bills, etc… will be at your own expense and have to be settled directly with the
hotel before checking out.
We look forward to welcoming you in Seychelles and wish you a safe and pleasant journey!
