Mongolian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Comoros. The process happens at Moroni's Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport. As of 2026, the visa costs 30–50 EUR (paid in cash, preferably euros or dollars) and is valid for up to 45 days.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Moroni International Airport. Have a printed hotel booking and return ticket ready — immigration officers ask for both. The visa costs around €30 or $50 USD, payable in cash (Euros or USD). | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Comoros enforces this strictly — I saw someone turned away at check-in for having 5 months left. Blank pages aren't an issue, but make sure your passport isn't damaged. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Moroni checks for a confirmed onward ticket out of Comoros. Airlines also enforce this at check-in — no ticket, no boarding. A refundable onward booking works if you're unsure of your exit date. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Immigration officers ask for this at the visa-on-arrival counter. A booking.com confirmation with your name and dates is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Carry at least $200 USD in cash or have a credit card statement showing available funds. Officers rarely ask, but I've seen them request it from solo travelers. ATMs are unreliable in Comoros — bring cash. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa on arrival
The visa fee must be paid in cash (euros or USD). There is no ATM at the visa counter and cards are not accepted. Bring exact change if possible — officers may not have change for large bills.
Visa on arrival is straightforward but slow
The visa on arrival process at Moroni airport is simple but can take 30–60 minutes depending on the number of flights arriving. Be patient and have your documents ready.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Moroni airport and head to the visa counter
After landing at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (HAH), follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Immigration'. There's a dedicated counter before passport control. Have your passport, return ticket, and cash ready.
2
Fill out the visa application form
You'll be given a short form asking for basic details: name, passport number, flight number, hotel address. Fill it out while queuing.
3
Pay the visa fee and get your visa sticker
Hand over your passport, form, and cash. The officer will process payment (usually 30–50 EUR) and affix a visa sticker into your passport. This takes about 5–10 minutes.
4
Proceed to passport control
With the visa in your passport, go to the passport control line. The officer will stamp you in. Keep your boarding pass handy in case they ask for it.
5
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim, then customs. The whole process from landing to exit usually takes 30–60 minutes.

Immigration at Moroni airport may deny you entry if you cannot show a confirmed onward or return ticket. It's a standard requirement for visa on arrival. Have a printed or digital copy ready.
