Comoros visas
Whether you need a visa for the Union of the Comoros depends on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay, though in practice almost all travellers require a visa, which is issued on arrival rather than through an online portal. Short visits are handled at the border, while longer stays for work, study, family or residence are arranged through the government's foreigner services and the local immigration office. Consular and visa policy is overseen by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, with services signposted through the official e-government portal (egouv.km).
