Victoria airport fees: what you pay at SEZ
Seychelles airport charges are added to your ticket by the airline, so nothing is paid in cash at the airport. Airline tax tables list a passenger service charge and VAT, but we found no published amounts. Cabinet approved a US$15 disembarkation levy on arriving international passengers in March 2020 and postponed it in April 2020. Its current status is unconfirmed. Foreign visitors need an online Travel Authorisation, which costs EUR 10.90 for the standard service, according to the US State Department.
