Travel Summary

  • You should avoid any crowds or political gatherings and remain vigilant and maintain a low profile while moving around, particularly if travelling alone. See the Safety and Security - Political Situation.

  • There is no British Embassy or Honorary Consul in Comoros. Comoros is covered from the British High Commission in Port Louis, Mauritius.  You should register with the British High Commission in Port Louis before travelling to Comoros.  See General - Representation.

  • Piracy is a significant threat in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, and has occurred as far as 1000 nautical miles from the coast of Somalia. Sailing vessels are particularly vulnerable. We therefore advise against all but essential travel by yacht and pleasure craft on the high seas (more than 12 nautical miles from shore) in the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea and part of the Indian Ocean, which includes the waters around the Union of the Comoros. See our Piracy in the Indian Ocean page.

  • There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
  • You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling.  See General - Insurance.
