Why Seychelles Imposed A Ban On Nigerians Applying For Holiday Visas (Detail)

The Government of Seychelles has imposed a ban on Nigerian passport holders from visiting the country for holiday purposes.

This was confirmed by Mathias Adidi, who is the president of Nigerian community in Seychelles.

He made it known that someone from Nigeria is sending Nigerians to bring drugs to Seychelles and it is very harmful.

However, he did not disclose the name of the individual sending Nigerians to bring drugs into the country.

Also , a Twitter user and a travel content creator, @munafromtravelletters on Saturday shared a screenshot of what appeared to be a Seychelles visa application rejection mail.

MO Media recalls that in December 2022, the Government of Nigeria and Seychelles signed a treaty that would enable direct flight  between the Two countries.
