Required documents
5 itemsIdentity
Comorian visa
RequiredEvery foreign nationality needs a Comorian visa to enter, there's no visa-free nationality. For an ordinary tourist trip this is either the tourist visa (up to 45 days) or, for a longer single trip, the short-stay visa (up to 3 months, renewable once). It's issued by the Ministry of the Interior, or, on delegation, directly by a Comorian embassy/consulate or by a foreign diplomatic or consular post accredited to represent the Comoros.

Valid passport or travel document
RequiredA national passport or equivalent travel document that is currently valid. The law doesn't specify a minimum remaining validity beyond that, so confirm any specific validity window with whoever issues your visa.

Visa fee
RequiredIssuing a visa comes with a fee, but the amount is set by Comoros' annual Finance Law rather than by this text, and no current figure was found on an official Comoros page, confirm the amount with whoever issues your visa before you travel rather than assuming a number you've seen elsewhere.

Purpose of travel
No paid or unpaid work on this visa
RequiredA transit, tourist or short-stay visa doesn't let you take up any paid or unpaid gainful activity in Comoros. The only carve-outs are brief business dealings by people with no fixed base in the country, and occasional direct-sales activity, and that second one still needs its own special authorization from the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

Why applications on this route get refused
Refused as a threat to public order, public health, state security or the economy
Entry can be refused, with immediate effect, to any foreigner whose presence would threaten public order, public health, state security or the national economy.
How to avoid it: There's no document that offsets this, it's a discretionary, case-by-case call at the border. Travel with evidence that supports your stated purpose in case you're asked.
No onward or return ticket
The law requires visa holders to have transport arranged that lets them leave Comoros again at the end of their stay.
How to avoid it: Book, and be ready to show, a return or onward ticket before you travel.
Taking up work while on a tourist or short-stay visa
Tourist and short-stay visa holders aren't allowed to take up paid or unpaid gainful activity, beyond the narrow business and direct-sales exceptions the law carves out.
How to avoid it: Don't take up employment or run a business on this visa, apply for the status that actually matches what you plan to do.
