  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking) or contact details of a host in Comoros

Visa on arrival

  • On arrival at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Moroni), proceed to the visa/immigration counter before passport control
  • Present your passport, completed arrival form, and proof of accommodation/return ticket
  • Pay the visa fee in cash (USD or Euros are widely accepted; carry exact or close-to-exact amounts)
  • The officer stamps the visa directly into your passport, typically within 15-30 minutes
  • Queues can build up when multiple flights arrive close together - have documents ready to speed up processing

Fees & processing time

  • Visa on arrival fee: approx USD 65-90 (KMF 30,000-40,000), payable in cash
  • No separate service fee since there is no pre-arrival application step
  • Total estimated cost: USD 65-90
  • Processing time: typically 15-30 minutes at the airport counter
  • No express lane; arrive with time to spare if your connecting transport has a tight schedule

Tips for Algeria travelers

  • Carry cash in USD or Euros, as ATMs and card payment at the airport are unreliable
  • Have your hotel booking or host's contact information printed, since officers may ask for it directly
  • Double-check your passport has enough blank pages, as the visa stamp needs a full page
  • If you plan to stay longer than 45 days, ask about extension procedures at the immigration desk when you arrive, or visit the immigration office in Moroni well before the visa expires
  • Direct flights to Comoros from Algeria are limited, so confirm your connecting itinerary and any transit visa needs for the connecting country
