Transit Visa (Visa de Transit)

The Transit Visa (Visa de Transit) is a specialized short-duration entry authorization established under Comorian immigration regulations, such as Law No. 88-025, to facilitate the movement of international travelers through the archipelago. It fills the critical gap for passengers who are not entering the country for tourism or business but are merely passing through en route to a final destination. By providing a streamlined, complimentary entry option, it allows travelers to remain within the transit zone or briefly exit the airport for a limited period, typically up to 24 hours, without requiring a full tourist visa.

This visa is designed for international travelers with confirmed onward travel plans who have a layover in the Comoros. It is ideal for transit passengers, airline crew, or individuals in international transit who need to switch flights or ports. What makes it distinctive is its zero-cost structure and its strict requirement for proof of onward travel, ensuring that the holder's stay remains temporary and focused solely on their transit journey through the country.
