Everything you need to know about a Virtual Marriage Vs getting married in Seychelles amidst Omicron

|

Seychelles is one of the most stunning wedding destinations in the world. It has a plethora of gorgeous wedding settings, and couples from all over the world dream of marrying in this country. However the recent news of the Omicron variant has left everyone guessing if traveling internationally is a good idea.

Let’s just say; it’s not all that bad; you can still travel to Seychelles as long as you are fully vaccinated or travel with a negative PCR test. However; if any of the partners belong to the red listed countries; a virtual marriage would be better suited. Read this article to find out more.

Is a virtual marriage legit

A virtual marriage is very legit and the services were open for citizens around the world. It is now possible to marry whenever you wish. However, instead of solely having a virtual marriage via Zoom, be sure that the technique you chose meets all of your demands.

That’s because many virtual aka internet marriage options come at a price and may not be the ideal fit for your needs.

Latest Update on traveling to Seychelles for the big day

Beginning Saturday, November 27th, visitors from South Africa, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, and Zimbabwe will be denied access to the Seychelles until further notice.

All persons already in Seychelles who have visited these countries in the last two weeks are required to have a PCR test if they have been in Seychelles for five (5) to fourteen (14) days. Those who have only been in Seychelles for five (5) days should wait till the fifth day to do the PCR test.

Requirements of Entry if you are traveling from the UAE or other countries

  • A negative PCR test should be done 72 hours before departure for all travelers entering the Seychelles.

  • Medical clearance is required for travel and will be requested at check-in. Otherwise, visitors will not be permitted to board an aircraft.
