Overview

Comoros coverage is lite because the official presidency and Comoros embassy sources provide useful visitor, airport-visa, business-visa and courtesy-visa detail, but the reviewed public source packet does not expose stable route-level work, residence, family or general long-stay checklists. Applicants should use the official embassy and presidency sources, then confirm any employment, residence, study, family or longer-stay compliance step with the competent Comorian authority, host, employer or school before relying on it. The official embassy courtesy-visa page says the embassy issues courtesy visas to diplomatic or service passport holders, with exemption from visa-fee payment, and lists note verbale, completed form, photos, mission order, hotel booking, invitation letter and round-trip flight evidence. This route is for official or protocol travel, not ordinary tourism, work or residence.

ℹ️ Who can apply?

You need an approved sponsor in Union of the Comoros before applying. This route does not lead to permanent residence. Open to qualifying applicants from all countries.
