Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. If it's not, you'll be turned away at the border.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Before you fly, double-check your passport validity (6 months) and that you have a blank page. Print or save your return ticket and accommodation details — you might need to show them at check-in or on arrival.
2
Arrive at Honiara International Airport
Most international flights land at Henderson Field (Honiara). Follow the signs to the immigration hall. There's usually a queue — be patient.
3
Present your passport to the immigration officer
Hand over your passport and any requested documents (like your return ticket). The officer will check your details, stamp your passport, and grant you entry for up to 90 days. No visa fee is charged.
4
Collect your bags and exit
After clearing immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Keep your passport safe — you'll need it when you leave.

Frequently asked questions

No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave the country and re-enter, but note that immigration may question frequent back-to-back visits. For longer stays, contact the Solomon Islands Immigration Division in Honiara before you travel.
You'll likely be denied entry. The 6-month validity is a strict requirement. Renew your passport before you travel if it's close to expiring.

Immigration may refuse entry if you can't show proof of onward travel. It's best to have a ticket ready, even if it's a refundable one.
