New visa requirements due to Ebola

As part of enhanced precautionary measures in the Seychelles, a temporary visa requirement has been imposed for the nationals of countries affected by the Ebola outbreak, as well countries bordering these affected countries and others in the region.
 
Citizens of the following countries are now required to be in possession of a visa prior to travelling to Seychelles: Sierra Leone; Liberia; Guinea-Bissau; Guinea; Nigeria; Cameroon; Chad; Niger; Burkina Faso; Senegal; Mali; Benin; Ivory Coast; Ghana; Congo; Democratic Republic of Congo; Gambia; and Mauritania.

All Seychellois nationals will not be allowed to travel to Sierra Leone; Liberia; Guinea; Nigeria; or the DRC without the express permission of the Public Health Commissioner until the epidemic has officially been deemed to be over by the World Health Organization (WHO). Travellers from these countries will not be allowed to enter Seychelles until the epidemic has been deemed over.
