    Comorian ordinary passport: citizenship

    A traveller using a Comorian ordinary passport is classified as a Comorian citizen rather than as a foreign visitor under the foreigner-entry visa regime.

    • This is a narrow catalogue home-country classification: the foreigner-entry law applies to people of foreign nationality, while the Nationality Code determines Comorian nationality.
    • It does not establish treatment for a dual national presenting another passport, or for work, residence, transit, special passports, document validity, public-order controls or final admission.

    Türkiye ordinary passports: Comoros and Sudan visa on arrival

    • Comoros: the MFA says ordinary passports are visa-subject and visas can be obtained at border posts.
    • Sudan: the MFA says ordinary, service and special passport holders are visa-subject and visitors may obtain visas at all Sudanese border posts.
    • This establishes only the stated short-visitor border-visa route, not eVisa, residence, work, transit, special-document or final-admission treatment.

    Taiwan ordinary passports: named visa-on-arrival short visits

    Taiwan MOFA BOCA's current outbound schedule identifies these destinations as issuing visas at arrival to Taiwanese travellers, including stated pre-clearance routes.

    • CI requires online registration, fee payment and an emailed approval code before the visa is issued at Abidjan airport; it is therefore arrival issuance, not an eVisa under this taxonomy.
    • LR: apply online, then present the approval QR code at Roberts International Airport for biometric collection and the visa sticker. The Liberia Immigration Service directs applicants in a country with a Liberian embassy to that mission instead.
    • This does not establish work, residence, non-visitor, transit-only, special-document, carrier, health, funds or final-admission treatment.
