Getting an IT Job in Seychelles by AlexS1978
I was recently in Seychelles (Praslin, La Digue and Mahe) and I loved the country and climate and the atmosphere. I usually read around about the country I'm visiting and I read that Seychelles is trying to build up their financial and IT ...
I've actually searched in Facebook as well but didn't notice anything. Most groups and announcements were about renting or selling a place or similar. When I looked specifically for jobs and especially it related jobs, can't say that I ... Read More
Playdate for homeschooled kids by Girl4granted
Hi all, Our family moved to Mahe from RSA about three weeks ago. I am homeschooling my two little ones (3 and 5 years old) but they are missing their friends. Is there any homeschooling groups on the island? Or any mom keen to meet up once a week ...
Homeschooling is not really practised in Seychelles. But if you want your kids to meet other kids a great way to do this would be to enroll them in activities such as swimming (at the Roche Caiman national swimming pool), dance or music. Lots of ... Read More

Word of mouth is definitely correct! Most of us locals know a lot of people, and it starts by someone saying 鈥渉ey this company is looking for someone, let me know if you know anyone鈥� and it starts like that, and the person gets employed ... Read More

Monthly costs for a couple? Working in Hotel
If you're moving with someone and your partner will be a dependent, ask for $2000 or more. Yes, you can own a vehicle but they cost a bomb here but it's well worth driving around in your own car. Read More
Demand?
Hi Hannah83, There is a high demand for teachers in Seychelles. Although I don't know if the government schools are looking for English teachers at the moment. We have about 3 private schools though. It's worth a try. Many teachers in the ... Read More
Housing cost range by slowloris
Hi all, I've looked through a lot of seychelles related sites and even this forum but would really just like some rough range of prices of rental housing there. I have been offered a position in the Seychelles and would be bringing wife and 4 yr ...

Hi sjleitner! I live on Mahe (my mum is Seychellois). My friends and I actually go to Praslin when we need that 'island vacation' getaway! I absolutely love Praslin, but if you're moving from a big city or a big town, adaptation might be very, ... Read More
Hi Everyone! by tropicalweb
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum! I'm half-Seychellois and have been living in Seychelles for about half of my life. I'm here to network and to help with Seychelles-related questions. You're very welcome to ask me for my perspective on things. :D
Raffles is located on Praslin which is a rather small island. It might take you a while to make a lot of friends but it's possible to make friends nonetheless. I have a good friend on Praslin, feel free to send me a private message and I can give ... Read More
Salary question
Highly depends on the company that is hiring you. It could range to a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per month. Obviously more if you work for a private company. Read More
Expat blog gatherings in the Seychelles
I'm actually a local blogger, so I think it might actually be fun to meet 大咖福利影院gers (or even local bloggers) here in Seychelles. I don't know exactly how many there are, but I'm sure that there is only a handful of us here. Read More

Hi monty83, It's hard to properly estimate at this point because expenditures vary largely depending on individuals and families. I don't really know what "Indian food items" would consist of (can you specify?). A few examples of the price of ... Read More
Interested in Living in Seychelles
I'd have to agree with Ronald_tsc. If you want to apply as an individual, you will most likely require a Masters Degree and some work experience before you are considered. Easiest way (I think) is to apply through a company abroad that's willing ... Read More

Hi Katerina! :) I live on Mahe island, but I do go to Praslin to visit some friends once in a while. I don't think you'll have problems finding accommodation on Praslin. I actually find it quite odd that your employer has not made arrangements ... Read More
Meeting people in the Seychelles by SWest
I visited The Seychelles in 2009 with my late husband and fell in love with the place. I intend to visit again in April for a holiday with a view to looking at the viability of living there and writing. As I will be living quite alone, I would ...
Well, locals don't normally hang out alone, but since you'll be looked at as a foreigner you won't really look out of place because we're sort of aware that foreigners have a completely different culture. Clubbing is what people do here to meet ... Read More

There is a wedding dress maker at a mall in market street. The name of that mall has slipped my mind, but it's that mall right opposite of the market. There is also a tailor in town right behind Deepam Cinema. A friend of mine made a simple but ... Read More
