Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get a visa on arrival at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (HAH) in Moroni. Pay the fee in cash (EUR or USD) — around €30 for a single-entry tourist visa valid for up to 45 days. Have a passport photo ready; the counter can take one for a small extra fee.Check visa info | 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 into Comoros. The immigration officer at Moroni airport checks this strictly — I saw someone turned away for having 5 months left. Blank pages are not required beyond the visa sticker page. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Moroni airport asks for a confirmed onward ticket before issuing the visa on arrival. A printed or digital copy of your flight out of Comoros works. Without it, they may deny entry — I've seen this happen to a traveler who only had a one-way ticket. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from a host in Comoros. The visa counter may ask for it, especially if you're staying more than a few days. A simple booking confirmation from Booking.com or Agoda is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Carry at least €200 in cash (EUR or USD) or a recent bank statement showing sufficient funds. The immigration officer may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay. I've never been asked for a specific amount, but having cash on hand avoids problems. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash — euros or US dollars. There are no ATMs at the visa counter, and credit cards are not accepted. Bring enough cash to cover the fee (around €30–€50) plus any extras.
Visa on arrival is straightforward
The process at Moroni Airport is well-established for visa on arrival. Just have your documents ready and cash in hand. Most travellers get through in under an hour.
