Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Moroni International Airport. Have 50 EUR or equivalent in cash ready for the visa fee — cards are not accepted at the visa counter. The process takes 10–15 minutes, but queues can build up when multiple flights land at once.Check visa details | Required |
| Valid passport Original passport with at least 6 months validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Immigration officers at Moroni check this strictly — I saw someone turned away for having 5 months left. Carry a photocopy of your passport's photo page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | You need a confirmed onward ticket out of Comoros. Immigration asks for this at the visa-on-arrival counter — they want to see you're not staying indefinitely. A printed booking confirmation works fine. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. A printed booking confirmation is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Carry enough cash for your stay — there are no ATMs at the airport and limited banking in Moroni. Immigration rarely asks, but having 200–300 EUR in cash shows you can support yourself. Cards are not widely accepted outside major hotels. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash (EUR or USD). Cards are not accepted. Have the exact amount ready to avoid delays.
Visa on arrival is straightforward
No need to apply online or visit an embassy. Just show up with your passport, cash, and onward ticket. The process takes 10–15 minutes at the airport.
