  • Proceed to immigration with passport.
  • Complete any on-arrival form provided.
  • Pay the visa fee in cash (USD, EUR, or Comorian franc).
  • Receive the visa stamp/label in your passport and enter.
  • Processing time: typically 15–60 minutes depending on queue.
  • Sticker visa: If pre-approval is required, apply through the Comorian embassy or consulate with documents (passport, photos, hotel/invitation, return ticket). Typical processing 5–7 business days; fees vary by category; payment by bank transfer or money order depending on embassy.
  • Visa free: Afghanistan citizens do not have visa-free entry to Comoros.

Tips for Afghanistan travelers

  • Plan in advance: visa on arrival is possible, but confirm current policy with the Comorian embassy or official sources close to your travel date.
  • Common rejection risk factors for Afghan applicants: passport validity less than 6 months, insufficient funds, missing onward return ticket, or lack of hotel or invitation proof.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy: Comoros generally handles visa on arrival at border; if you need a sticker visa, apply via the official embassy and expect longer timelines.
  • Travel advisories: check your government travel advisories for the Union of the Comoros and any health requirements.
  • Extensions: in-country extensions may be possible at Moroni prefecture for up to 30 days; confirm before your visa is due to expire.
