What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months
  • Completed arrival visa form (available at the airport or distributed on the flight)
  • Return or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter)
  • One passport photo (recommended, not always strictly checked)
  • Cash for the visa fee in euros, US dollars or Comorian francs
  • Biometrics: fingerprints and photo taken at the immigration desk on arrival
  • Travel health insurance: not mandatory, but recommended given limited local medical facilities

Visa types

  • Tourist visa on arrival: single entry, up to 45 days, fee approx KMF 30,000 (about USD 60) for under 1 month, KMF 40,000 (about USD 75) for up to 45 days
  • Business visa on arrival: similar process, may require an invitation letter from a local company
  • Longer-stay/residence permits are arranged separately through the Comorian immigration department after arrival

Visa on arrival

  • Available at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Moroni) and the port of Mutsamudu for sea arrivals
  • On landing, queue at the visa desk before passport control, submit your passport and return ticket, and pay the fee in cash
  • Officers stamp the visa into the passport after a short review, typically 10-20 minutes per traveler depending on queue
  • Carry exact change where possible, since large notes may not always be broken easily

Fees & processing time

  • Visa on arrival fee: approx KMF 30,000-40,000 (USD 60-75), payable in euros, US dollars or Comorian francs
  • No separate service fee, since there is no pre-approval step
  • Processing: done on the spot, typically 10-30 minutes
  • No formal express option; the fee is flat regardless of stay length up to 45 days

Tips for Zambia travelers

  • There is no direct flight from Zambia; most travelers connect via Nairobi, Addis Ababa or Dar es Salaam, so confirm the connecting airline will board without a pre-approved visa
  • Carry small-denomination euros or US dollars, since large notes may not be broken at the airport
  • Common issues: arriving without a return ticket or proof of accommodation can delay entry
  • Extensions beyond 45 days require a visit to the immigration office in Moroni before the visa expires
  • Confirm current entry rules before travel, since island-nation procedures can change with little notice
