Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Moroni International Airport. Have 50 EUR or 30,000 KMF in cash ready for the visa fee — the airport ATM often runs out of cash and card payments are not accepted. Bring two passport-size photos and a printed copy of your hotel booking.Check visa details | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the length of your stay in Comoros. The Comorian immigration officer at the airport will check the expiry date — if your passport expires within your stay, you will be denied entry. Airlines also enforce this rule before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Comoros immigration strictly requires a confirmed onward or return ticket. The officer at the visa-on-arrival counter will ask to see your flight booking before issuing the visa. If you arrive without one, you will be sent back on the next flight. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Immigration may ask for your hotel booking or a letter of invitation from your host. Have a printed copy of your reservation ready — showing the booking on your phone is risky if the network is slow. If you are staying with family, get a signed invitation letter with their address and phone number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry at least 300 EUR in cash or a credit card showing available funds. The visa officer rarely asks, but if you look underprepared they may request proof. Comoros has very few ATMs outside Moroni, so bring enough cash for your entire stay. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa on arrival
The visa fee must be paid in cash (EUR or USD). There are no ATMs before immigration, and cards are not accepted. Bring small bills to avoid issues with change.
Visa validity is generous
The visa on arrival typically allows a stay of up to 45 days. If you need longer, you can apply for an extension at the immigration office in Moroni.
