| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Comoros. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Return ticket | Immigration at Moroni airport asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket before they stamp you in. Budget airlines flying into Comoros (Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways) also check this at departure. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Comoros. Immigration officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Carry at least $200 USD in cash or have a credit card statement showing available funds. Comoros is a cash-heavy economy — cards work only at a few hotels in Moroni. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa-on-arrival counter accepts only cash — euros or US dollars. No cards, no local currency. Have €30–€50 in small bills ready to avoid delays.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Comoros, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, you'll be turned away.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Moroni International Airport
After landing, follow signs to the immigration hall. There's a dedicated visa-on-arrival counter — look for the 'Visa on Arrival' sign. Queue there before the main passport control line.
2
Submit documents and pay fee
Hand over your passport, completed arrival card (usually given on the plane), and your return ticket. Pay the visa fee in cash (euros or USD). The officer will process your visa and stamp your passport.
3
Proceed to passport control
Once you have the visa sticker, go to the main passport control queue. Present your passport with the visa. The officer may ask a few questions (purpose of visit, where you're staying). Answer clearly.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim, then customs. The whole process usually takes 30–60 minutes depending on flight arrivals.
