Comoros requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever. Colombia is not on that list, so you likely don't need it. But if you've recently traveled to an endemic country, bring your certificate.
You will be denied boarding by the airline and refused entry by Comoros immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6 months are counted from your entry date, not your departure.
The visa on arrival is available at Moroni International Airport (HAH). If arriving by sea, check with your ferry operator — some may require you to arrange a visa in advance. Most tourists fly in.
No, it's not mandatory for the visa on arrival. But healthcare in Comoros is limited and expensive for foreigners. A good travel insurance policy is strongly recommended.
