The gorgeous island nation of Seychelles has said that it will allow entry to vaccinated travellers from India. Seychelles is one of the favourite beach destinations for holidaymakers, but given the rise in COVID cases, almost all the countries in the world have banned India. However, Seychelles has decided to put restrictions which are reasonable for all South Asian countries, including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The announcement was made by the Public Health Commissioner of Seychelles who said that entry will be allowed to completely vaccinated travellers from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. He also said that vaccinated travellers must complete two weeks after their second dose before getting their permit to enter Seychelles along with proof of vaccination.
