🇸🇨 Pet Import to Seychelles
Seychelles maintains relatively strict biosecurity controls for companion animals in order to preserve its rabies-free status, which is important given its high-value tourism industry. Dogs and cats are generally expected to be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and supported by a FAVN antibody titer test, with an import permit from the Seychelles Agricultural Agency obtained well in advance of travel. While a strict multi-month kennel quarantine is not confirmed here, a period of monitored isolation at the owner's premises after arrival is plausible pending veterinary sign-off. Because detailed current procedures are not fully published in English, this entry is a skeleton, and prospective owners should contact the Seychelles Agricultural Agency directly to confirm requirements before travel.

Seychelles is rabies-free and requires an import permit from the Seychelles Agricultural Agency arranged well before travel. Pets generally arrive via Seychelles International Airport near Victoria, where quarantine officers inspect the animal and its paperwork, and a period of at-home isolation may be required pending veterinary clearance.
