FAQs

Seychelles Time (SEYCHE) covers the Indian/Mahe zone in the Seychelles, sitting comfortably at UTC+04:00 year-round with no daylight saving changes—making it a steady, reliable clock whether you're scheduling a beachside call or syncing across continents.

    Just one—Seychelles Time (SEYCHE), used across the entire archipelago under the Indian/Mahe zone.

  • Do clocks change for daylight saving in Seychelles?

    No—Seychelles Time stays fixed at UTC+04:00 all year, so there’s no spring forward or fall back to track.

  • What’s the current UTC offset for Mahe?

    Mahe, like all of Seychelles, runs at UTC+04:00, matching its tropical location near the equator.

  • When did Seychelles start using this offset?

    The +04:00 offset has been in effect since January 1, 1907, providing over a century of consistent timekeeping.

  • Is SEYCHE used outside Seychelles?
