Frequently asked questions
The standard visa on arrival is usually granted for 30 days. If you need longer, you can apply for an extension at the Immigration Office in Honiara. Extensions are not guaranteed and cost extra.
Yes, but it's not automatic. You must visit the Solomon Islands Immigration Division in Honiara before your visa expires. Bring your passport, a completed application form, and the extension fee (around SBD 200–400). Processing takes a few days.
You will almost certainly be denied entry. Immigration officers check this at the counter. If you're transiting through another country, a ticket out of the Solomon Islands to your next destination works.
No — cash only. Bring Solomon Islands dollars or US dollars in small denominations. There are ATMs in Honiara but not at the airport, so have cash ready before you arrive.
If you're staying airside and not clearing immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you need to enter the country (e.g., for an overnight layover), you'll need the visa on arrival.
You will be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry at Honiara. Renew your passport before traveling.
Not officially, but it's strongly recommended. Medical evacuation from remote islands can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Some airlines may ask for proof of insurance at check-in.
