Official travel advisory

1 Exercise Normal Precautions

The U.S. State Department places Seychelles at Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions. Our live index reads 93.2/100. That advisory was last revised Dec 9, 2025, 266 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

Seychelles is regarded as a broadly safe destination, though the United States keeps no consular office in the country; emergencies involving American travelers are handled by the embassy in Port Louis, Mauritius. Health risks set Praslin, La Digue and the outer islands apart: these smaller islands have no facilities capable of handling ordinary injuries or illness, and anyone needing treatment is moved by boat or plane to Mahé. Insurance covering medical evacuation matters accordingly.
