Frequently asked questions

The visa on arrival is valid for up to 45 days. It's a single-entry visa, so if you leave Comoros, you'll need a new visa to return.
Yes, you can extend your stay at the immigration office in Moroni. Extensions are typically granted for an additional 30 days and cost around €30. Go to the Direction Générale de la Documentation Nationale near the airport.
Comoros has two other international airports: Anjouan (AJN) and Mohéli (NWA). Both also offer visa on arrival for Hungarian passport holders. The process is the same — cash payment and a short form.
If you're arriving from a country with yellow fever, you'll need a vaccination certificate. Otherwise, it's not required. Check your itinerary — if you transit through a high-risk country, get the shot.
No. Only cash is accepted at all Comorian airports. Bring euros or US dollars — they're widely accepted. ATMs are scarce and unreliable.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You'll be fined approximately €10 per day over your allowed stay. In extreme cases, you could be detained until you pay. Extend before your visa expires.
