Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Apply online before travel | Comoros issues a visa on arrival at Moroni International Airport. You must pre-register online at the SNAC website before departure — the airport kiosk processes your payment and prints the visa sticker. Have your booking reference and payment confirmation ready when you land.Pre-register for visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your Vietnamese passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Comoros. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Comorian immigration, but airlines may enforce 6 months — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Comoros immigration strictly requires a confirmed return or onward ticket. Without one, you will be denied boarding or entry. Have a printed copy or digital booking ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | While not always checked, having a hotel booking or invitation letter speeds up the visa-on-arrival process. If you are staying with a local, carry their contact details and address. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Comoros does not formally require proof of funds, but carrying cash (EUR or USD) or a bank statement helps if asked. ATMs are scarce outside Moroni. | Recommended |
Cash only at the airport
There is no ATM at Moroni Airport. Bring enough EUR or USD cash to cover the visa fee (€30–50) and any immediate expenses. You can exchange money at the airport or in town.
Visa on arrival only at Moroni Airport
This option is only available at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni. If you arrive by sea or at another airport, you must get a visa beforehand from a Comorian embassy.
