Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Moroni) or other entry points. Have 50 EUR or 30,000 KMF in cash for the visa fee — the counter does not accept cards. The visa is valid for up to 45 days and cannot be extended.Check visa details | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Comoros. The immigration officer at Moroni airport checks this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Return ticket | You must show a confirmed return or onward ticket when you check in for your flight to Comoros. The airline at Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport will not let you board without one. Immigration in Moroni also asks for it on arrival. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Accommodation proof | Have a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Immigration officers at Moroni airport occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial proof | Carry at least 300 EUR or equivalent in cash or a credit card statement. Immigration may ask to see proof you can support yourself during your stay, though this is rarely checked in practice. | Recommended |
Cash only at visa counter
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash — euros or US dollars. No card payments, no ATM nearby. Bring exact change if possible.
No e-visa option
Comoros does not offer an e-visa for Lebanese passport holders. The visa on arrival is the standard method. Don't waste money on third-party e-visa sites.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Moroni)
After landing, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Immigration'. There's usually a dedicated counter before passport control. Queue up, present your passport, return ticket, and accommodation confirmation. Pay the visa fee in cash (euros or USD). The officer will issue a visa sticker on the spot.
2
Proceed to passport control
With the visa sticker in your passport, join the main passport control queue. The officer will stamp you in. Keep your boarding pass and return ticket handy in case they ask again.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim. Then proceed through customs — usually a quick bag scan. You're free to enter Comoros.
