Hi , Seychelles is a very lovely island , i moved in to seychelles to work for a resort 3 months aso , and it has been real great to work here , a very lovely island .
 u can  count seychelles as a african country , ( they are on the indian ocean )  and it looks similar to europe .it is visa free to Nigerians , but they have strict rules on Nigerians
 most of them speaks french more than english .
 there are some few nigerians here that plays basketball and some work for hotels.

if u want to know more , send me emails will tell u lot more

Hi Buchi , tell your brother that seychelles is not a good place to work as a panelbeater ,   mst car work are done by the company , and u hardly see any car being panel beating.

The only job is Seychelles are Hotels and resort jobs .if he has any experience in that field , then he can come to seychelles . he will love it here .

 Its a very beautifull mind , and lovely place to start a new life and dream .

 I am a Nigerian , but i work in Seychelles

Hi All , (Renaud  Uhmmm u have been reading too much of love novels i guess , )
 
To be frank with you all , Seychelles is an island for the rich , if you dnt have a job here doing , it will be of waste for you to come  . i will advise you all to apply for GOP (Gainfull occupational permit ) with the seychelles immigration . you wil send your documents to them and your processing fee .

 With this GOP , you can easily apply for a job when you get here . if you come  as a Tourist , it will be very hard for you to get a JOb ,and cost of living will be very high for you . if you have a job  your employee provides for all your needs , so you can be able to save a lot .


 For those coming for vacations , the cheapest resort/hotel you can get to stay is around 300USD per night (including breakfast only ).

For flights :
 Kenya Airways , Qatar Airways , Emirates Airline

Flight on kenya airways is around 1300dolls , you can check with the other airlines for their rates .


 There are only 5 Nigerians staying in Seychelles , and they all work here .

 So you all ,if you follow my guidelines , you will have a wonderfull stay in Seychelles

 If You require to know more , please send me an email . willa.seun@yahoo.com

(For all those that asked me to send them emails , am sorry i find it hard to send emails at times , due to  tight schedule here . but please  email me and i will reply .)

Please what are the procedures and document required to obtaing GOP.

seychelles is a lovely island with alot of job offer.well i don't think anyone need a visa before u could get to seychelles.all u have to do is book for a flight and at the port of entry the immigration will ask for your hotel reservation confirmation,return ticket and once u have a valid international passport.they will stamp your passport and then u can roll in and out.but if u want to extend your stay for up to year , they will ask u to pay 14$. thats all you need fellaz.

good luck
