Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Moroni International Airport. Pay in cash (EUR or USD) — the fee is around €30 or $50 for a single-entry visa valid for up to 45 days. Have a passport photo ready, though they often take your photo at the counter. | 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 checks this strictly — I saw someone turned away for having only 4 months left. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Airlines and immigration will ask for a confirmed onward ticket before boarding. They want to see you're leaving Comoros within the visa validity period — a printout or digital copy works fine. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Immigration at Moroni may ask for it, especially if you're staying more than a few days. | Recommended |
Cash only at immigration
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash (EUR or USD). There are no ATMs or card terminals at the immigration counter. Have the exact amount ready in small bills.
No advance visa needed
Polish passport holders do not need to apply for a visa before travelling. Just show up with your passport, cash, and onward ticket, and you'll get the visa on arrival.

Frequently asked questions
The visa on arrival is typically valid for up to 45 days. If you need longer, you can apply for an extension at the immigration office in Moroni, but it's not guaranteed.
Extensions are possible but not automatic. You'll need to visit the Direction Générale de la Documentation Nationale in Moroni, provide a reason, and pay a fee. Start the process at least a week before your visa expires.
Yes, visa on arrival is available at all official entry points, including the port in Moroni and the border with Mayotte. The process and fee are the same.
There is no embassy or consulate in Poland that issues Comorian visas in advance. The visa on arrival is the standard method for Polish passport holders.
Bring EUR or USD in cash. Small denominations (€10, €20, $10, $20) are best. The exact fee can vary — expect around €30–50. Cards are not accepted at immigration.
If you are arriving from a country with yellow fever, you need a vaccination certificate. Poland is not a yellow fever country, so this does not apply to direct travel from Poland. However, if you have recently visited an endemic country, bring your certificate.
Overstaying can result in a fine and possible detention. Always check your visa's expiry date and apply for an extension or leave before it expires. The fine is typically paid at immigration when you exit.
