Taiwan passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Comoros. You'll handle the paperwork at the airport in Moroni — no need to apply before you travel. This policy is current as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Comoros. No minimum validity period beyond your departure date is required by Comorian immigration, but airlines may enforce 6 months validity — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Visa on arrival Obtain at the airport upon arrival | You get a visa on arrival at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni. Pay the fee in cash (EUR or USD) — current cost is about €30 or $50 for a single-entry visa valid up to 45 days. Have the exact amount ready; change may not be available.Check visa details | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Comoros | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Without one, you may be denied boarding or entry. A printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from a host ready. Officers rarely ask for it, but if you arrive without a clear place to stay, they can refuse entry. A simple booking confirmation printout is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — around $100–$200 per day of your stay is a safe benchmark. A recent bank statement or a credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies the officer if asked. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in cash (EUR or USD). There is no card payment option. Bring small bills — change may not be available.
Visa on arrival is straightforward
The process at Moroni airport is well-practiced. Have your documents ready, pay the fee, and you'll be through in about 15–30 minutes.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Moroni International Airport
After landing, follow signs to the immigration hall. Look for the 'Visa on Arrival' counter — it's usually separate from the main passport control queue.
2
Fill out the visa application form
You'll be given a short form to complete. Have your passport and return ticket details handy. A pen is useful — the counter may not have one.
3
Submit documents and pay the fee
Hand over your passport, completed form, and return ticket. Pay the visa fee in cash (EUR or USD). The officer will process your visa and affix the sticker.
4
Proceed to passport control
Once you have the visa sticker, go to the main passport control desk. The officer will stamp you in. Collect your luggage and you're done.
