Migration in Seychelles: A Country Profile 2024

The Migration Profile for Seychelles is the second of its kind, providing updated details on migration issues that have evolved since 2014. The report reflects on changing migration trends and patterns while taking stock of the impact of migration on population, labour and the environment, among others. The updated report provides an analysis of some of the changes that have taken place on migration in, to and from Seychelles, as well as changes in migration policy and governance. The revised Migration Profile provides insights into the characteristics of migration in Seychelles, highlighting the changing economic, social, political and environmental issues that influence migration patterns that have been taking place since 2014. It reflects on the shift in migration patterns as well as government response in terms of policies, laws and legislation that are guided by regional, continental and global migration-related instruments. The analysis indicates that migration continues to have a positive impact on the country, but there is still limited data and research on key migration patterns. In addition, the Profile reveals that there are a number of stakeholders engaged in migration – from local to national levels – that can engage effectively with key State actors on migration issues.
