Useful facts for your holiday to La Digue

Flight and transfers

You’ll fly in to Seychelles International Airport, which is in Mahe. Then you’ll likely take a seaplane or boat to the resort.

Visa Requirements

Irish passport holders must have a passport valid for at least the duration of intended stay. A visitor’s permit must be obtained upon arrival, which lasts for 30 days. You must have a return or onward ticket, as well as proof of sufficient funds (150 USD per day) and proof of accommodation for your visit.
