What people usually pay

Seychelles trip math is not just flights and hotels. Most travelers should budget for four separate cost layers: Travel Authorisation, the tourism sustainability levy, marine-park entries on Inner-Island day trips, and occasional transport-specific extras such as private mooring or special-access permits.

Fee	Amount	Applies to	Where to pay	Notes
Travel Authorisation	EUR 10.90 standard adult processing Per entry	All incoming travelers	Official Seychelles Travel Authorisation portal or E-Border app	Premium and expedited options cost more. Approval must be secured before departure to Seychelles.
Tourism Environmental Sustainability Levy	SCR 75 to SCR 100 per person per night Per night	Most visitors aged over 12 staying in medium, large, island-resort, or yacht accommodation	Collected by accommodation or yacht operator	From 1 January 2026, small tourism establishments with 1 to 24 rooms are exempt. Medium properties charge SCR 75. Large properties, island resorts, and yachts charge SCR 100.
Inner-Island marine park entry	SCR 200 per non-resident adult Per visit	Ste. Anne, Port Launay, Baie Ternay, and Ile Cocos visits	Through authorized operators or the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority system	Check whether your boat operator has included the park ticket or expects you to pay separately.
Curieuse entry	SCR 300 per non-resident adult Per visit	Curieuse island and marine area visits	Through authorized operators or the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority system	Curieuse is one of the most popular wildlife and snorkel day trips from Praslin, so this fee appears often in mixed-group itineraries.
Overnight marine park mooring permit	SCR 250 per vessel per night Per night	Vessels mooring overnight in selected marine parks	Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority	Relevant mainly for yacht charters and special-interest liveaboard style itineraries rather than ordinary hotel-based travelers.
