Comoros Visa on Arrival for Indians in 2026: Fee, Documents and What to Expect
By Ananya Singh (Ananya Singh writes step-by-step first-international-trip guides for Indians — passport rules, e-visa portals, visa-on-arrival counters, and the unglamorous immigration logistics that decide whether a long-haul Africa trip starts smoothly or badly.) · Published · 10 min read
Comoros is one of the easiest African entries for Indians — a visa on arrival at Moroni airport for around EUR 30. Here's the fee, the documents and how to plan the connection.
Quick answer
Indian passport holders get a visa on arrival for the Comoros — no advance application is required. As of June 2026 the visa on arrival costs around EUR 30 (about USD 50, ~₹4,300), is issued at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni (HAH), and allows a stay of up to 45 days. You pay at the immigration counter, usually in euros or USD cash. Fees can change at the border, so carry a little extra and confirm before you travel.
Do Indians need a visa in advance for the Comoros?
No advance visa is needed. The Comoros — a small island nation in the Indian Ocean between Mozambique and Madagascar — issues a visitor visa on arrival to Indian citizens at its main international airport. This makes it one of the more relaxed African entries for an Indian passport, where most of the continent now requires an e-visa. You can see the country summary on FlightGPT's Comoros visa page, but treat any border fee as subject to change and confirm locally.
Because flights to the Comoros almost always connect (via Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam or the Gulf), many Indians pair it with another Indian-Ocean or East-Africa stop. If you do, check the Tanzania e-visa or Kenya ETA rules separately, since those legs need their own approvals.
How the visa on arrival works
The process is simple but old-school — paper form and a cash counter:
- On the flight or at arrivals, fill the immigration arrival/visa form.
- Join the visa-on-arrival counter at Moroni (HAH).
- Present your passport, return ticket and accommodation details.
- Pay the fee in cash (euros or USD).
- Receive the visa sticker/stamp and clear immigration.
There is no widely-used official e-visa portal for tourists, so plan to do this at the airport. Carry the fee in small, clean euro or USD notes — change can be hard to get and damaged notes are sometimes refused. Once your dates are set, compare connections in the FlightGPT chat.
Documents to carry
- Passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry, with blank pages.
- Return / onward ticket.
- Accommodation proof — hotel booking or host details.
- Visa fee in cash — euros or USD, small denominations.
- Yellow-fever certificate if arriving from or transiting a yellow-fever country (very likely on East-Africa routings) — carry your yellow card.
A passport-size photo or two is also worth carrying, as some counters still ask for one.
Fee and stay at a glance
| Item | Approx (June 2026) |
|---|---|
| Visa on arrival fee | EUR 30 / USD 50 (~₹4,300) |
| Where issued | Moroni airport (HAH), on arrival |
| Stay granted | Up to 45 days |
| Payment | Cash (EUR/USD) |
These figures are widely reported for 2026 but the Comoros does not publish a polished online fee schedule, so treat the amount as approximate and carry a buffer. There is no consulate-side payment to make in India for a tourist trip.
Planning the trip
The Comoros is genuinely off-grid — limited tourism infrastructure, French and Comorian widely spoken, and patchy card acceptance, so plan cash for the whole trip. There is no Comoros mission for visas in most of India, which is fine because the visa is issued at the border.
