Visa on arrival — simple and accessible
Good news for Senegalese travellers: Comoros issues a visa on arrival, with no prior embassy step. It is one of the easiest destinations to reach from Dakar.
Visa on arrival in practice
At the airport (Moroni-Prince Said Ibrahim), the visa is issued for a stay of up to 45 days, single entry, for about €30 payable in cash (euros or dollars). Beware of “Comoros e-visa” websites: there is no official national portal — the visa is obtained on site.
Documents and health
Passport valid 6 months, a return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation. On yellow fever: contrary to a common belief, Comoros does NOT require a certificate under the International Health Regulations. Still, carry your vaccination card (airline and transit-country checks).
On arrival in Moroni
Bring cash in small denominations (euros or dollars) to pay for the visa: card payment is unreliable at the airport. Formalities are simple but sometimes slow — keep the visa receipt safe for your whole stay, as it may be requested on departure.
Money and practicalities
The Comorian franc is pegged to the euro (€1 ≈ 492 KMF), which makes budgeting easy. The economy runs largely on cash: ATMs are rare outside Moroni, so withdraw or exchange before heading to Anjouan or Mohéli. A local SIM card costs a few euros and is the most reliable way to stay connected.
Common mistakes
Arriving without a return or onward ticket — boarding can be denied as early as Dakar. Expecting to pay the visa by card on arrival. Staying beyond 45 days without requesting an extension. And neglecting malaria prevention: malaria is present in the Comoros, so talk to a doctor before departure.
Best time to travel
The Comoros have a tropical climate with a dry season and a rainy season. The dry season, from May to October, is generally preferred for travel, while the rainy season from November to April features more frequent rainfall. Traveling during the dry period is recommended for better weather conditions.
Main arrival airports
The main international airports in the Comoros are Prince Said Ibrahim Airport in Moroni, serving the capital, and Dzaoudzi Airport in Mayotte, which is a common entry point for some travelers. These airports handle international flights from various countries.
Documents to prepare
Travelers should have a valid passport for the duration of their stay, along with return or onward tickets. Supporting documents such as proof of funds, accommodation reservations, and travel insurance may also be required. Ensure your passport is valid and gather all necessary documents for entry.
