How Hard is it to Work as A Non-Citizen?

Hi There,

I would like to relocate to Seychelles.  I am American.  Does anyone have any tips, leads, etc to understand this process?  I am in the very beginning and finding it rather hard to find anything for non-citizens.  In the usa, non-citizens are allowed to become taxi drivers etc.  I dont even think that job is legal for non-citizens in Seychelles, so what can non-citizens do.


  If jobs are hard to find then I would be happy to come in as a business owner.  What categories are allowed to have some level of residency in Seychelles?  What industries? What labor? And, how as a business owner do you show the govt your credentials to do so?

Thanks for all of your engagement and answers in advance.
