Permanent residence in Seychelles after the qualifying year of legal residence.

Who qualifies

You keep your U.S. citizenship.

Does it fit your family?

2 questions, from the program’s own rules.

How old are you?

Not legal advice.

What it takes.

Investment
About $1,000,000.
Age
18 or older.
Time
About 12–18 months in total, including the required year of prior legal residence.
Cost
The $1,000,000 investment plus legal and application fees of $10,000–20,000.
The hard part
Committing $1 million to Seychelles specifically, and actually living there for the qualifying year rather than just holding the investment remotely.

Dollar figures are converted from the local currency at the rate the program’s research used; the official figure is in the local currency.

This visa doesn’t lead to a passport.

  1. 2027
    Residence begins

    No permit term of its own; the clock runs on legal residence.

Two passports
Yes. You keep your U.S. citizenship.
  • Permanent residence for a USD 1 million investment after a period of legal residence on another permit (one year per the program file, five per the investment board); it ends there, as Seychelles no longer naturalises by residence.
  • There is no realistic way from residence to citizenship here; permanence is where this road ends.

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
Seychelles taxes on a territorial basis: foreign-source income stays outside the local tax net, with no capital gains, inheritance or wealth tax.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.

Postern can run this for you.

$900for your first year as a founding member. Then $399 a year, automatically.One membership, the whole family. Bank accounts and help putting your plan into action are included.

Postern runs it for one adult US citizen with at least the Seychelles-rupee equivalent of USD 1 million already invested and at least one year of lawful Seychelles residence: IMM-15 filing in Mahé, permanent residence issuance, national identity card and each ten-year identity-card renewal; no dependants or investment formation.

15 steps, from the first paper to every renewal. You do 4 of them: send what we ask for, sign, and show up. We run the rest, and keep every permit renewed on time. Opening your bank accounts there is included, whether you move now or keep the plan ready. Government fees, record fees and other costs you approve are extra.
