Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa at Honiara International Airport upon arrival.

| Valid passport Valid passport | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from the Solomon Islands. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Return or onward ticket | Immigration at Honiara Airport will ask to see a confirmed onward ticket out of the Solomon Islands. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone — they are strict about this. If you are flying out to another country, make sure the ticket is for a date within your visa validity. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Proof of accommodation | Have a hotel booking or a letter of invitation from a host ready. Immigration officers sometimes ask for it, especially if you are arriving without a pre-arranged tour. A printed booking confirmation works best. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Proof of funds | Carry enough cash or a credit card to cover your stay — around $100 USD per day is a safe estimate. Immigration rarely asks, but if you look underprepared they may question you. ATMs are scarce outside Honiara. | Recommended |
Cash is king at the airport
There are no ATMs at Honiara International Airport and card payments are not accepted for the visa fee. Bring enough Solomon Islands dollars or US dollars in small bills to cover the fee (around SBD 400–600 or USD 50–70).
Visa on arrival is for tourism/business only
If you plan to work, study, or volunteer, you must apply for the appropriate visa before traveling. The visa on arrival does not cover these activities.

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.
