Travel advice for Comoros

Hungary advises avoiding non-essential travel for Comoros.

Exercise caution throughout Comoros and avoid demonstrations or gatherings. Cholera, malaria and mpox require precautions, while hospitals do not meet European standards and treatment may be costly, so comprehensive travel insurance and a travel medical kit are strongly recommended. Transport and fuel supplies are unreliable, roads are poor, and night driving is discouraged. Earthquakes can occur at any time.

Exercise a high degree of caution in the Comoros because emergency services and medical facilities are limited. Petty crime, demonstrations, dangerous coastal waters, road accidents, unsafe ferries and piracy add risk. Emergency assistance is limited in Grande Comore and extremely limited in Mohéli and Anjouan, so drive defensively and avoid walking alone or driving after dark. 2SLGBTQI+ travellers should consider discrimination and legal risks, while solo women may face harassment.

Exercise high caution in Comoros, seek local advice on security concerns, take common-sense precautions, and obtain comprehensive insurance covering medical, repatriation and legal costs. Irish citizens need a visa and a passport valid for at least six months, should check vaccination needs, and should bring enough medication. Follow local laws, customs and traditions and monitor local news; no specific higher-risk region or city is identified.

Japan advises a high degree of caution for Comoros.

Exercise caution: petty theft occurs, terrorism is possible despite no acute threat, demonstrations may turn violent, and pirates target vessels around the Comoros coast, Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean. Rules cover drugs, same sex intimacy and photographing government or military sites, with severe penalties. LGBTIQ+ travellers face discrimination and aggression. Expect cyclones from November to April and earthquakes around Karthala and Moroni, and insure for evacuation because healthcare is poor.

Exercise increased caution because opportunistic crime, protests, infectious diseases, limited medical facilities, cyclones, volcanic eruptions and overloaded ferries create risks. Take care in crowded markets, parks and beaches, avoid demonstrations concerning Mayotte, and remain alert to piracy and armed robbery off the Somali coast and in the Gulf of Aden. Respect strict rules on dress, public alcohol, drugs and same-sex relations, especially during Ramadan; follow local instructions if Karthala erupts.

Exercise increased caution in Comoros because of crime, unrest, and health risks. Petty crime is common, and small craft on the open seas may be vulnerable to piracy. Protests occur spontaneously, mostly in Moroni, and some become violent and damage property, while healthcare is limited in Moroni and very limited in rural areas.

Exercise vigilance when travelling in Comoros. During the final quarter of 2026, above-average rainfall associated with El Niño may affect infrastructure and mobility, so take appropriate precautions.

Exercise normal precautions when travelling to Comoros, but consult other countries’ travel advice because Estonia has no representation there. Estonian citizens need a visa, and entry or stay conditions may change without prompt notification. Seek consular assistance through the French embassy, as other EU member states have no local representation.

Singapore issues no advisory for Comoros. Ensure your passport has at least six months' validity on the expected departure date and check the latest information with your travel agency or the nearest Comoros embassy. Singapore has no resident diplomatic mission in Comoros, so travellers requiring consular assistance should contact the nearest Singapore mission.

Take normal precautions when travelling to Comoros. Your passport must remain valid for six months after arrival, and you need a visa, available on arrival. Declare prohibited goods and goods subject to tax or duty. Medical facilities on all three islands are basic, and power and water disruptions may affect services. Terrorist attacks pose a global threat to UK interests and British nationals, so stay alert.
