Comoros: visa and entry rules
What you need to get in, how long you may stay, and what an overstay costs
The Comoros' borders: every crossing point
Airports 1
The Comoros has no land borders - it is a group of islands in the Mozambique Channel.
Everyone arrives by air or by sea. Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport is in Moroni on the island of Grande Comore.
Boats and light aircraft link the islands - Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli - with no border formalities inside the country.
Mayotte is close by, but it is a different jurisdiction: the island belongs to France, and crossing to it means entering the European Union, with everything that follows.
By sea there is the port of Moroni, with no scheduled international passenger services.
Driving to the Comoros
Traffic drives on the right.
The temporary import period and the carnet question are for the local customs service. Neighbouring countries have rules of their own; general figures do not carry over.
Insurance is taken out locally, bought at the border.
An International Driving Permit is required.
You cannot reach the islands under your own steam - there are no land borders.
Travelling to the Comoros with a pet
You need an international veterinary certificate, endorsed by the state veterinary service of the country you are leaving.
The rabies vaccination must be valid on the date of entry.
An import permit is arranged in advance with the veterinary service.
Check the requirements for the Comoros - vaccination deadlines, the microchip, quarantine - with the country's veterinary service and with your carrier. Without the full set of papers the animal will not be allowed on board.
Overstaying your visa in the Comoros
A fine is charged for exceeding your permitted stay and is paid on departure.
The amount of the fine in the Comoros is only named at the border. The rates change and there is no working it out in advance - keep a reserve of cash for the day you leave.
Extensions are arranged in advance, before your permitted stay runs out.
A serious overstay means deportation and an entry ban.
What else to check before you go
更新日
Entry rules change faster than anything else on this site, and they change without notice. We cross-check every page against several sources and state the date it was verified, but that does not replace the main step: before you travel, check an official source — the country’s consulate, its immigration service or its e-visa portal. Especially if more than a couple of months have passed since our check.
