FBOs at Seychelles International FSIA SEZ

Airport security

International-standard passenger and baggage screening is applied at both the international and domestic terminals, with controlled access to the air operations area; the FBO facility operates with dedicated ramp access control and provides VIP/VVIP handling with supervised airside access for private aviation crews.

Customs, immigration and regulatory

Hours: H24 Airport of entry; customs and immigration available 24/7; crew airport access restricted to departure/arrival lounge only unless otherwise coordinated

Ground corridor

• Ground transport risk in Victoria and Mahé is primarily opportunistic in nature — petty theft is the dominant concern, concentrated in tourist-facing areas such as Victoria city centre, Beau Vallon beach, and ATM locations, particularly after dark
• isolated roads and unlit coastal routes on Mahé present a secondary road-safety risk, especially at night in wet conditions. The airport corridor via the Victoria-Providence Highway is well-travelled and considered low-risk during daylight hours
• no high-risk movement corridors directly adjoin the airport access road. Licensed taxis operate 24 hours at dedicated ranks outside both the international and domestic terminals and are generally reliable for airport transfers
• fares are unmetered and must be agreed before boarding, and pre-arranged vehicles with vetted professional drivers are the preferred option for executive and VIP movements to eliminate fare negotiation and ensure accountability. No active movement restrictions, armed conflict, or comprehensive embargo conditions apply to Seychelles.

City threat summary

Seychelles presents a low overall security environment, with the U.S. State Department rating Victoria as LOW-threat for crime, terrorism, and political violence.

The October 2025 presidential transition — in which Patrick Herminie of the United Seychelles Party defeated incumbent Wavel Ramkalawan — was internationally commended as peaceful and orderly, and no significant political unrest has followed.

The principal day-to-day risks to visitors are opportunistic petty crime near tourist facilities and beaches, and an ongoing chikungunya outbreak that prompted a CDC Level 2 Travel Health Notice in early 2026.

The outer islands of Praslin and La Digue carry a U.S. State Department Level 2 designation solely due to limited medical infrastructure.
