|---|---|---|

| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Solomon Islands | Immigration officers at Honiara International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they will check it before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. While not always checked, having it ready avoids delays at the border. | Recommended |

Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines and immigration will check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. If it's close, renew before you go — you will be turned away.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type before travel. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
If you're transiting and don't leave the airport, you generally don't need a visa. But if you plan to exit the terminal (e.g., for an overnight layover), you'll need to meet the visa-free entry requirements above. Check with your airline for specific transit rules.
You'll likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry at immigration. Renew your passport before you travel — it's not worth the risk.
No vaccinations are required for entry from Europe. However, the CDC and WHO recommend routine vaccines plus hepatitis A, typhoid, and yellow fever if you're coming from an endemic area. Check with a travel clinic 4-6 weeks before departure.
Generally yes, but crime (especially theft) occurs in Honiara. Avoid walking alone at night, secure your valuables, and don't flash cash. The islands are remote — medical facilities are basic, so travel insurance with evacuation coverage is wise.
The Solomon Islands dollar (SBD). Credit cards are accepted at major hotels and some restaurants in Honiara, but cash is king everywhere else. ATMs are limited — bring enough Australian dollars or US dollars to exchange, or withdraw at the airport.
Taxis are available outside the terminal. The ride to central Honiara takes about 15–20 minutes and costs around 50–100 SBD (about 6–12 USD). Agree on the fare before you get in. There's no public bus.
