Apostille for Seychelles

Recruited for a resort, a construction project or a clinic in Seychelles? Workers need a Gainful Occupation Permit (GOP), and employers usually ask for authenticated Indian documents. Seychelles has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since 31 March 1979, so the authentication is the MEA apostille. INFINITYGRO completes the apostille for Seychelles in Delhi.

Quick answer

For an apostille for Seychelles, a Passport Seva PCC goes straight to the MEA, while degrees, diplomas and trade certificates are verified at source and civil certificates by the home department or SDM. Seychelles’ Immigration and Employment departments accept the apostilled documents in English.

High Commission or apostille?

Seychelles embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Seychelles is

Seychelles has been a Convention member since 1979 and it applies with India, so the Seychelles High Commission does not add a stamp to apostilled Indian documents.

Resorts and construction companies applying for a GOP usually need the worker’s police clearance and qualification documents. Getting the apostille for Seychelles early avoids delays in the permit queue.
