Guide last updated September 29, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date, with at least one blank page
  • A passport-style photo (recommended, sometimes requested at the counter)
  • Proof of onward/return travel
  • Proof of accommodation
  • Cash in EUR or USD to pay the visa-on-arrival fee (cards are not accepted at the airport counter)
  • Travel health insurance is recommended given limited medical infrastructure
  • Biometrics (photo) may be captured on arrival

Visa types

  • Tourist visa on arrival: single entry, typically valid for a stay of up to 45 days
  • Business visa on arrival: similar terms, may require a letter of invitation from a local contact or company for smoother processing
  • Longer-stay, work, or residence permits must be arranged after arrival through the Comorian immigration authorities, since Comoros has no diplomatic mission in Canada.

Visa on arrival

  • Available at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni for all arriving passengers
  • Steps: complete a short arrival form, present your passport and return ticket at the immigration counter, and pay the fee in cash
  • Fee: approximately EUR 30–50 depending on the length of stay requested, payable in cash (EUR or USD)
  • Processing at the airport typically takes 15–30 minutes depending on how many flights have arrived
  • Queue tip: flights are infrequent, so the airport can be busy right after arrival — have exact cash ready to speed up processing

Fees & processing time

  • Visa on arrival fee: approximately EUR 30–50 (single entry, up to 45 days), cash only
  • No separate service/agency fee since the visa is issued directly at the airport
  • Processing time: roughly 15–30 minutes at the airport counter
  • No express option; all arriving passengers go through the same process
  • Total cost is the visa fee, so carry a little extra cash for any incidental airport charges

Tips for Canada travelers

  • Carry exact cash in EUR, since it is more widely accepted than USD and change may be limited
  • Since Comoros has no embassy in Canada, the airport visa-on-arrival is the standard and generally only practical route for Canadian travelers
  • Confirm your inter-island travel plans in advance, as domestic flight schedules between the three islands (Grande Comore, Anjouan, Mohéli) are infrequent and can affect your visa's stay planning
  • Extensions beyond 45 days should be requested at the immigration office in Moroni well before the visa expires
  • Connectivity and banking services are limited outside Moroni — withdraw cash and confirm accommodation payment methods before heading to the outer islands
