The President and National Assembly of Seychelles enacted the International Business Companies (Amendment) Act, 2018, to amend the International Business Companies Act 2016. This Act introduces mandatory filing of a company's register of directors with the Registrar within 30 days, imposing penalties for non-compliance while strictly limiting public disclosure of this information. Furthermore, it revises provisions for restoring struck-off companies, extends certain statutory periods, and sets new compliance deadlines of 24 months for director register filing and 18 months for beneficial ownership obligations from the Act's commencement.
