Visa requirements
Most tourists are granted a visitors permit on arrival to the Solomon Islands.
Citizens of the United States and most (British) Commonwealth and European Union countries do not need a visa. If you have a valid passport (minimum 6 months validity from planned date of entry) and a return or onward ticket, you can acquire a visitor’s visa valid for three months on arrival.
Tourist visas are usually issued for 30 days on arrival. There are some exceptions, so do check with the Solomon Islands Immigration Service on (+677) 22179, 22194 or 22199.
You can also email immdir@commerce.gov.sb or visit the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Labour and Immigration’s website for more information.
To be approved for a visitors permit you must:
- Hold a valid passport, with six months validity beyond your departure date and with blank pages to accommodate stamps.
Have either a return or an onward ticket, - Be able to show evidence of sufficient funds to support yourself while in the Solomons, and
- Have a valid visa to enter other countries from the Solomon Islands, if required.
