Entry requirements

No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Honiara International Airport will ask for a confirmed onward ticket before letting you through. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or next-destination flight ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |

Passport validity counts from arrival
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter the Solomon Islands, not from when you leave. Double-check before you fly.
No extension available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a visa before traveling. Overstaying can lead to fines or deportation.
