Frequently asked questions
The fee is typically around €30–50, payable in cash (euros or US dollars). Exact amount can vary slightly — bring a bit extra just in case. No credit cards accepted.
The standard visa on arrival is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a different visa type before traveling or visit the immigration office in Moroni after arrival.
Comoros requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Bangladesh is not a yellow fever endemic country, so you likely don't need it unless you've recently traveled to an endemic area.
You may be denied boarding or entry. The airline might check at check-in, and immigration in Comoros will ask for proof of onward travel. Book a refundable ticket if you're unsure of your plans.
The visa on arrival is available at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni. It may also be available at other international airports, but land and sea borders are less reliable — stick to flying into Moroni.
Usually 15–30 minutes, depending on the queue. Have your documents ready and cash in hand to speed things up.
Comoros is generally safe for tourists, but petty crime like pickpocketing can happen in markets and crowded areas. Take normal precautions — keep valuables secure and avoid walking alone at night.
