| 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 officers at Moroni airport ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. Without one, you may be refused entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Immigration may ask for it at the counter, especially if you're staying more than a few days. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Carry at least $200 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing you can cover your stay. Officers rarely check, but it's safer to have proof. | Recommended |
Cash only at the visa counter
There is no ATM or card payment facility at the airport visa counter. Bring enough euros or US dollars in small, clean bills to cover the fee (around €30–€50). Change is rarely given, so exact amount is best.
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's close to expiring, renew it before you travel.

The standard stay is up to 45 days. The exact duration is stamped in your passport at the airport. Make sure to check the 'valid until' date before leaving the counter.
You may be denied boarding or entry. Airlines often check for onward travel before letting you check in. Immigration in Comoros also asks for proof of departure. Book a refundable ticket if you're unsure of your plans.
