Comoros Entry Requirements

Comoros hands out visas on arrival to almost everyone, so most travellers step off the plane at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni and join the single queue at the visa desk before passport control. Humid sea air, thick with cloves and ylang-ylang, wraps around you as flip-flops slap against tiled floors and rubber stamps clack like castanets. Bring cash, euros or dollars, for the visa fee, plus proof of onward travel and accommodation details. Lines crawl. Pack patience and a pen. Beyond immigration, customs officers wave handheld scanners over bags while the smell of grilled bonite drifts in from the airport café. Entry rules stay straightforward, yet yellow-fever vaccination is compulsory if you arrive from an endemic country, and officials may ask for printed proof. Keep every document in an easy-to-reach folder. The heat and press of bodies make rummaging awkward.
