A Quick Guide to the new Seychelles Immigration Rules (November 2013)

Department's quick guide (Nov 2013, 19 pages) to the 2013 amendments: permanent residence and citizenship criteria by category (marriage, priority worker, student, investor), general conditions (absence up to 1 year, no prison over 1 year, citizenship exam over 80%), rights of permanent residents and citizens, deprivation and renunciation, and fictional example cases (incl. an investor with USD 500,000 not eligible, and a USD 1.5 million Eden Island villa owner eligible only for a residence permit because a private residence is not a direct investment). Investor rules recorded (USD 1 million, 1 year residence or 5 years' association, 11 years for citizenship, exam, absence limit, sanction-fee benefit); the example amounts are illustrations, not rules, so not recorded.
