Seychelles

Republic of Seychelles · ISO SYC

Seychelles has a rated national right-to-information law (adopted 2018, scored 108/150 by the RTI Rating, checked 2026-07-05), and a candidate service-rights route exists that we have not confirmed against the official text. Subdivision entries below marked “to confirm” are tasks, not facts.

Your first move, anywhere

Request legal route, responsible officer, fees, timeline, appeal route, and one high-value record: budget, contract, land, hospital stock, service standard, audit, court delay, police complaint, or procurement payment.

Convert the legal right into a citizen test: receipt, tracking number, statutory deadline, written reasons, actual record release, appeal, and proactive publication.

Capture flags to watch: Delay; discretion; opacity; fragmentation; fear; patron dependency; counterfeit transparency

Verify filing fee, copying fee, waiver, and electronic access rule.
