Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (HAH) in Moroni. Pay the visa fee in cash — EUR or USD accepted, no local currency. Have a printed hotel booking and return ticket ready at the visa counter.Check visa details | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date. Comoros strictly enforces this — airlines also check before boarding. No blank page requirement, but have at least one free page for the visa sticker. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Return ticket | Immigration officers at Moroni airport ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Budget airlines like Air Austral and Ethiopian Airlines check this before issuing a boarding pass. A printed itinerary works fine. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Immigration at HAH sometimes asks for this during visa-on-arrival processing. A booking.com confirmation with your name and dates is sufficient. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient funds | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a credit card statement showing available funds. Comoros is a cash economy — most places outside Moroni don't accept cards. ATMs are scarce and unreliable. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa-on-arrival fee must be paid in cash (EUR or USD). There is no ATM or card payment at the counter. Bring small bills — change may not be available.
No advance application needed
There is no e-visa or embassy application for Sri Lankans. Just show up at Moroni airport with your documents and cash. The visa is issued on the spot.
