Guide last updated October 5, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date, with a blank page for the visa stamp
  • Completed arrival visa form, usually handed out before landing or at the immigration desk
  • Cash (EUR or USD) to pay the visa fee, as card payment is not reliably available
  • Proof of accommodation and return/onward ticket may be requested
  • A passport photo is useful to carry, though not always strictly required
  • No biometrics beyond a possible photo at the immigration desk
  • Travel health insurance recommended given limited medical facilities on the islands

Visa types

  • Short-stay visa on arrival: valid up to 15, 30, or 45 days depending on the option chosen, fee roughly EUR 30 (15 days) up to EUR 50 (45 days), single entry
  • Business visas on arrival follow a broadly similar process, sometimes requiring a local contact or invitation letter
  • Longer-stay or multiple-entry visas must be arranged in advance through the Comorian embassy or consulate

Visa on arrival

  • Issued at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni
  • Complete the arrival form, present your passport, and pay the visa fee in cash (EUR or USD typically accepted)
  • Officers may ask about your accommodation and purpose of visit; having a hotel booking or invitation letter ready helps
  • Processing at the counter usually takes 15-30 minutes, longer if multiple flights arrive close together
  • Keep small denomination notes, as change may not always be readily available

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately EUR 30 for a 15-day stay, rising to around EUR 50 for 45 days, payable in cash
  • No VFS/BLS fee since this is issued directly by Comorian immigration at the airport
  • Processing time: typically 15-30 minutes per traveler at the immigration desk
  • No official express/priority lane advertised for visa-on-arrival travelers
  • Total cost estimate: EUR 30-50 visa fee plus incidental costs

Tips for United Kingdom travelers

  • Carry EUR or USD cash in small denominations, since change can be limited at the airport counter
  • Check current FCDO travel advice before booking, as inter-island travel and infrastructure can vary significantly in reliability
  • Arrange accommodation in advance and keep a confirmation handy to speed up the arrival questioning
  • For stays beyond the visa-on-arrival maximum of 45 days, you'll need to apply through the Comorian embassy or extend locally before expiry
  • Internal travel between the islands (Grande Comore, Anjouan, Moheli) is usually by small plane or boat, so factor this into your itinerary planning
