How visa on arrival works at Moroni
Comoros grants visas on arrival to essentially all nationalities, including Indian passport holders, at Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni. The counter process is simple: passport, a completed arrival card, the visa fee paid in cash (euros are the most smoothly accepted currency — carry exact-ish amounts, as change can be slow), and proof of onward travel if asked. It is one of the most friction-free entries in the region for Indians, which makes Comoros an easy add-on to an East Africa itinerary.
Reaching Comoros from India
There are no direct flights from India. The workable connections run through Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines, Nairobi on Kenya Airways, or Dar es Salaam — all one-stop from Mumbai or Delhi. Book the international legs on one ticket where possible; separate tickets with short connections in Addis or Nairobi are risky because the onward Moroni flights are low-frequency, often not daily. If you transit a yellow-fever country such as Kenya or Ethiopia for more than 12 hours, carry your yellow fever certificate.
Money and practical notes
The Comorian franc is pegged to the euro, and the islands run almost entirely on cash — card acceptance is rare outside one or two Moroni hotels, and ATMs are unreliable for foreign cards. Carry enough euro cash for the full stay and change locally as needed. Mobile coverage is adequate on Grande Comore, thinner on Anjouan and Mohéli. French and Comorian are the working languages; English is limited, so a translation app helps with taxis and guesthouses.
