Guide last updated September 22, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • No pre-arrival application form required; a form is completed on arrival
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking) may be requested
  • Return or onward ticket, sometimes requested
  • One passport photo, useful to carry though not always strictly enforced
  • Biometrics: fingerprints and photo may be taken at the airport counter
  • Travel health insurance: recommended, not mandatory
  • Cash for the visa fee, as card payment is generally not available on arrival

Visa types

  • Tourist visa on arrival: single entry, valid for stays up to 45 days, fee around KMF 30,000 (approximately EUR 60)
  • Business visa on arrival: similar process, may require a company invitation letter, comparable fee
  • Longer stays or multiple-entry visas require pre-arrangement through the Comorian embassy or consulate before travel

Visa on arrival

  • On arrival at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni, French travelers proceed to the visa counter before passport control, complete a short application form, present their passport and any requested documents, and pay the fee in cash (Comorian francs or euros are generally both accepted, though euros may attract a less favorable rate). The visa sticker or stamp is issued within a few minutes at the counter. Queues can build up when multiple flights arrive close together, so having exact cash ready speeds up the process.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa on arrival fee: approximately KMF 30,000, roughly EUR 60 or USD 65
  • No separate service fee, as the visa is issued directly by immigration at the airport
  • Total cost estimate: around EUR 60-70 depending on exchange rate and any incidental charges
  • Processing time: typically 10-20 minutes at the airport counter
  • No express or priority lane is available; processing order generally follows arrival sequence

Tips for France travelers

  • Carry exact cash in euros or Comorian francs, since card payments and change availability are unreliable at the airport counter
  • Arrive prepared for possible queues if several international flights land around the same time
  • A common issue is not having proof of accommodation ready, which can slow down processing, so keep a hotel confirmation on hand
  • Extensions beyond 45 days should be requested at the immigration office in Moroni before the visa expires
  • Given the Comoros' limited air connectivity, double-check current flight and entry requirements shortly before travel, as procedures can change with little notice
