Seychelles is one of the most stunning destinations in the Indian Ocean, and it requires all foreign visitors, including Sudanese passport holders, to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) via the official portal before departure — a mandatory pre-approval, not a visa issued on arrival. Only after the ETA is approved is a free Visitor's Permit stamped on arrival. At Baeed Travel & Tourism, we provide our clients with a fast and professional service to prepare the ETA application and the complete travel file, with full follow-up until approval is secured before the trip.
