If you would like a refund, please send an email with your request to help@iVisa, including your order number and the reason for your refund request in the email.
You can reapply for the Seychelles Travel Authorization through iVisa if your original application was canceled or rejected.
Do I need a Travel Authorization if I’m only transiting through Seychelles?
Travelers wishing to transit through Seychelles on their way to their destination should follow the "conditions of entry" guidelines on the Ministry of Health website.
These guidelines can be found on the country's consulate website. Or you can also contact our experts and they will be able to provide you with an answer.
I made a mistake while filling in my answers. Can I modify it?
If your visa still needs to be processed, we can make any changes without any problem. We constantly check that everything is correct in your information, so that there is no mistake in the process.
However, if you have already applied to the appropriate government agency, some will allow you to make changes while others will not. Much of it will depend on the flexibility of the country you are applying to.
If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately, preferably via chat.
I have not received my Completed Application confirmation email. What now?
Check your spam folder if you don't find the confirmation email in your inbox. If, after checking there, you still need help finding the information, please contact our experts via chat to have the email resent to you.
How do processing times work?
At iVisa, we understand that your time is valuable, and we strive to provide you with the fastest service possible. Our processing times are estimated based on the average duration it takes governments to process visa applications. These estimated times begin from the moment we receive all the correct information for your application until you receive your visa. While we work diligently to expedite the process, it’s important to note that we are reliant on the processing times set by the government authorities.
