Entry requirements

|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Apply online before travel | Comoros offers a visa on arrival at Moroni International Airport for Turkish passport holders.

| Valid passport Must be valid for duration of stay | Your Turkish passport needs to be valid for at least the length of your stay in Comoros. No minimum 6-month validity is required by Comorian law, but airlines may enforce it — check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Comoros | Immigration at Moroni Airport routinely asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready — they check this before issuing the visa on arrival. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Comoros. Immigration may ask for it during the visa-on-arrival process, especially if you're staying more than a few days. | Recommended |
