Comoros shaded by its digital nomad & residency status

Comoros has no dedicated digital-nomad or remote-work visa and is absent from all 2026 digital-nomad visa indexes. Relocators must use general immigration routes: a 45-day single-entry visa-on-arrival, a long-stay visa obtained via embassy, and temporary residence permits (up to one year, renewable) tied to work, study, family reunification, retirement, or investment. The former citizenship-by-investment program is closed, so there is no residency-by-investment pathway today.

Key points

No dedicated digital-nomad visa

Comoros does not offer a remote-work or digital-nomad visa and does not appear in any 2026 digital-nomad visa lists/indexes; remote workers must rely on general visa and residence categories.

Visa-on-arrival (45 days)

Nationals of any country can obtain a single-entry visa on arrival (notably at Hahaya International Airport) valid for up to 45 days for roughly EUR 30, payable in cash; passport valid 6 months and onward ticket required.

Long-stay visa for extended stays

Stays beyond the visa-on-arrival period require a long-stay visa applied for in advance through a Comorian embassy/consulate, with higher fees and documentation (purpose of stay, financial means, accommodation, police clearance).

Residence permits via general routes

Temporary residence permits (initial stay up to one year, renewable) and longer-term residence authorization exist for work, study, family reunification, retirees, spouses, long-term workers and investors — but none is designed for remote workers employed abroad.

Work permits tied to local employment

Work permits are generally valid one year and renewable annually subject to continued employment; they require a local contract/employer rather than supporting independent remote work for a foreign company.

No residency/citizenship by investment

The Comoros citizenship-by-investment (economic citizenship) program was suspended/terminated (mid-2010s) amid corruption prosecutions; nationality can no longer be acquired through investment and there is no golden-visa equivalent.
