Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa at the airport in Comoros. Pay in cash (EUR or USD) — around €30 or $50 for a single-entry tourist visa. Have a passport photo ready, though they sometimes waive it. | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your Tunisian passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your date of entry into Comoros. Airlines check this at check-in, so don't risk it. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration in Comoros asks for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone — they check this before stamping you in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host. Immigration rarely asks, but it's better to have it ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have at least $200 in cash (EUR or USD) or a bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration may ask, especially if you're staying more than a few days. | Recommended |
Cash only at immigration
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash (EUR or USD). There are no ATMs or card facilities before immigration. Bring enough cash to cover the fee and some extra for incidentals.
Visa validity check
When you get your passport back, check the visa sticker carefully. Make sure the dates are correct and you understand how long you're allowed to stay. Mistakes happen — catch them at the counter.
