Frequently asked questions
No. Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival. You must apply for a visa before you travel through the Solomon Islands High Commission in Canberra, Australia, or another designated mission.
Processing typically takes 5–10 working days after you submit a complete application. Apply at least 2–3 weeks before your planned departure to allow for any delays.
Visa fees vary by mission. As of 2026, a single-entry visa from the High Commission in Canberra costs around AUD 100–150. Check with the specific office for the exact fee and accepted payment methods.
Yes, but it's not automatic. You must apply for an extension at the Immigration Division in Honiara before your current visa expires. Extensions are granted in 30-day increments, and there is a fee (around SBD 200–500). You'll need a valid reason, such as medical treatment or a flight cancellation.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined (around SBD 100–200 per day overstayed) and could face deportation or a ban from re-entering. Always apply for an extension before your visa expires.
If you're arriving from a country with yellow fever (or have transited through one for more than 12 hours), you need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Jordan is not a yellow fever country, so this only applies if you've recently been in an affected region.
Generally yes, but petty crime like bag snatching occurs in Honiara. Avoid walking alone at night, keep valuables out of sight, and use registered taxis. The islands are remote — medical facilities are basic, so travel insurance is essential.
