Naturalisation and citizenship in the Seychelles

Hi,

I am no expert, but from what I understand it is near impossible to become a citizen in Seychelles unless:

A) you marry a local
B) do a "under the table deal"

I have heard of people having had lived in a seychelles for 8 years and are still applying for a GOP each year.

The Seychellois passport is a very powerful one and it is one that I think most would find extremely convenient. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that it is so difficult.

Just my view.

Cheers

If your partner is a citizen and your married, you can apply for a dependants visa.  Then after all the checks have been done and it's approved, you can obtain a work permit which you can pay for annually.

The only reason I know is because I recently made enquiries at the passports office in Seychelles.

Hope this helps.

But I think its not easy even to get a partner in Seychelles . but may be a work permit sounds easier than marrying.
