Short-Stay Visa

The Short-Stay Visa (Visa de court séjour) is a fundamental component of the Comorian immigration framework, established under national legislation such as Law No. 88-025 to regulate the entry of foreign nationals for temporary purposes. It fills the gap between transit travel and long-term residency, providing a structured legal mechanism for visitors to enter the country for tourism, family visits, or short-term business engagements. It serves as the primary entry permit for the vast majority of international visitors arriving at Comorian ports of entry.

This visa is for travelers intending to visit the Comoros for a period typically not exceeding 45 days. It is ideal for tourists seeking to explore the islands, individuals visiting family, or business professionals conducting short-term meetings. It is distinctive for its accessibility, as it is frequently issued on arrival at the airport or seaport upon payment of the standard fee. Applicants must present a valid passport with at least six months of remaining validity and proof of their return or onward travel.
