The Workation Retreat Program in Seychelles is turning your dream of working by turquoise waters and stunning landscapes into reality. Imagine starting your day not in a cubicle, but on a sun-kissed beach. As you walk along sandy paths with the ocean breeze in your hair, nature welcomes you to a workspace like no other. Because here, working remotely might truly mean working in paradise.

About the program

As work culture evolves globally, the new trend of combining work with vacation — known as a workation — is rapidly gaining popularity. Now, people are no longer inclining over fancy cubicles and office spaces but prefer working nomadly. 

This program allows both self employed visitors like freelancers or business owners and people employed by a foreign country to stay and work in the country for a year. It usually offers a validity of 12 months with a possibility of extension for 6 months. Unlike traditional work visas, this visa prohibits local employment, requiring digital nomads to support themselves solely through their remote income during their stay.

With an application fee of just €45, it ranks among the most affordable digital nomad visas worldwide. It is also one of the fastest visas to process as it is issued within 6 hours (premium) or 24 hours (standard).

Requirements

Candidates applying for this program need to have the following documents in order to qualify for the role. 

1. Candidates must have a valid passport

2. Must have valid documents to proof their employment showing that you can support yourself in the country

3. Proof of valid income certificate and their wealth

4. Should hold updated medical insurance and travel policies 

5. Need a proof of the accommodation in the country which includes the details of the hotels you’ll be staying in

How to apply

Visitors can easily apply for this visa only 60 days prior to their travels from the official website of Seychelles. Once the Visitors Workcation Permit is approved they can complete their application for the entry.
