No visa on arrival or eVisa
Bangladeshi citizens cannot get a visa on arrival or use an eVisa for Solomon Islands. You must have a visa issued by an embassy before you fly. Without it, you'll be denied boarding and entry.
Apply well in advance
Embassy processing can take weeks, and you may need to travel to another country to apply. Start the process at least 2-3 months before your planned departure to avoid delays.
No visa extension
The visa for Bangladeshi citizens is not extendable. Plan your stay carefully and ensure you leave before the visa expires to avoid penalties.
What happens at the border
1
Locate the nearest Solomon Islands embassy or consulate
There is no Solomon Islands embassy in Bangladesh. You'll need to apply at a diplomatic mission in a nearby country, such as the Solomon Islands High Commission in Canberra, Australia, or the embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Contact them first to confirm they accept visa applications from Bangladeshi citizens and to get the exact requirements.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: your passport, photos, completed application form, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, bank statements, and any other supporting documents. Make copies of everything — the embassy will likely keep the originals of some documents.
3
Submit your application in person or by mail
Depending on the embassy's policy, you may need to appear in person for an interview or you can mail your application. If applying by mail, use a trackable courier service. Pay the visa fee as instructed — often by bank draft or money order.
4
Wait for processing
Processing times vary, but expect at least 2-4 weeks. The embassy may contact you for additional information or an interview. Check your email and phone regularly.
5
Receive your visa and travel
Once approved, you'll get a visa sticker in your passport. Check the dates and details carefully. When you arrive at Honiara International Airport, present your passport with the visa to immigration. They may ask about your stay — have your accommodation details handy.
