Seychellerna

Översikt

There is no discernable conflict threat in the Seychelles. The Seychelles’ geographic isolation renders conflict threats largely irrelevant for operational security concerns. Seychelles maintains cordial relationships in its foreign affairs and has an active and prosperous tourist industry. The country also enjoys a fair degree of political stability throughout the years and peaceful protests occur sporadically usually concerning economic and/or political issues.  

Hälsa, sjukdomar och vaccination

A Valid International Certificate with proof of polio vaccination is required from all travellers arriving from countries with polio outbreaks.
