Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get a 45-day visa on arrival at Moroni International Airport. Pay in cash (EUR or USD) — around €30–€50 depending on nationality. Have a printed return ticket and hotel booking ready at the visa counter. | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure from Comoros. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |

| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host in Comoros. Immigration may ask for it at the visa counter — having it ready speeds things up. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Have at least €200–€300 in cash (EUR or USD) or a recent bank statement showing sufficient funds. Immigration rarely checks, but the visa counter may ask if you look underprepared. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival counter does not accept credit cards or mobile payments. Bring EUR or USD in cash, and try to have exact change — the officer may not have change for large bills.
Keep your return ticket handy
Immigration officers often ask to see your onward ticket before issuing the visa. Have the booking confirmation ready on your phone or printed.
