Comoros

Comoros operates no residency or citizenship by investment program today. The country ran an Economic Citizenship Program for sixteen years, and its closure leaves Comorian nationals and prospective investors looking to the established programs elsewhere. For Comorian nationals, the practical question is which of those accept their applications.

Comoros Citizenship by Investment

The Comoros Economic Citizenship Programme was founded in 2001 and discontinued by the government in May 2017. No route to Comorian citizenship through investment has existed since.

Investors should explore the established alternatives, and Comorian nationals face few obstacles in doing so, as none of the Caribbean programs list Comoros among their restricted or banned nationalities.

The Antigua and Barbuda program ranks 65th on the La Vida Passport Value Index, reaching 186 of 227 destinations, and covers a spouse, children and dependent parents on a single application.

Grenada, St Lucia, Dominica and St Kitts And Nevis offer comparable routes, with processing typically running four to eight months.

Comoros Residency by Investment

Comoros lacks a structured residency by investment program. Established routes sit in Europe, where applicants are assessed on current residence, income and record rather than nationality alone.

The Greek Golden Visa program offers a straightforward path to Greek residency through property investment, priced from €400,000 across most regions and €800,000 in Athens, Thessaloniki and the larger islands, with a lower €250,000 tier for qualifying commercial-to-residential conversions and listed buildings undergoing full restoration. The permit carries Schengen travel rights, runs five years, renews while the investment is held, and imposes no minimum stay requirement at all.

The Portugal Golden Visa requires a qualifying fund investment from €500,000 and asks for seven days a year in the country, with permanent residence available after five years.

Comoros Passport Strength and Ranking

Comoros ranks 178th of 199 on the La Vida Passport Value Index. The Comorian passport reaches 63 of the world’s 227 destinations without a prior visa, representing 9.1% of world GDP and 13.6% of global travel measured by international visitor arrivals.

Both weighted measures sit well down the table, and the destination count of 63 is among the lowest recorded. The passport opens very little of the world where international banking, business and investment take place, and Comorian nationals require advance visas for the United States, the United Kingdom, the Schengen Area, China and Japan.

Enhanced travel privileges are achievable through the established programs. St Kitts and Nevis ranks 85th on the Index, reaching 191 destinations, 43.9% of world GDP and 75.7% of global travel, the widest destination count of any Caribbean citizenship. Grenada sits 63rd with 179 destinations, 59.6% of world GDP and 79.4% of global travel.
