Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Swedish passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Comoros. No minimum validity beyond your stay is required by Comorian law, but airlines may enforce 6 months validity — check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Visa on arrival Obtain at the airport upon arrival | Swedish passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Moroni International Airport. Pay the fee in cash (EUR or USD) — around €30–€50 depending on nationality. Have a passport photo ready, though they often take a digital one at the counter.Check visa details | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Moroni will ask to see a confirmed onward or return ticket before granting entry. This is strictly enforced — no ticket means you may be denied boarding or entry. Book a refundable ticket if your plans are flexible. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | While not always checked, having a hotel booking confirmation or an invitation letter from a host can speed up the visa-on-arrival process. Officers may ask where you're staying — have the address and contact number ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | You may be asked to show you have enough money for your stay. Carry a credit card or a few hundred euros in cash — Comoros is a cash-heavy economy and ATMs are scarce outside Moroni. | Recommended |
Cash is king at the airport
There are no ATMs before passport control, and card payments are not accepted for the visa fee. Bring euros or US dollars in cash — small bills are easiest.
No visa extensions available
The visa on arrival is non-extendable. If you overstay, you may face fines or difficulties when leaving. Plan your trip to fit within the visa's validity.
