Moroccan passport holders need a visa to enter the Solomon Islands. It's an eVisa — you apply online before you fly, and you'll land in Honiara with approval already sorted. Start the application at least a couple of weeks before departure, because there's no visa-on-arrival option waiting for you at the airport.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Solomon Islands visaYou cannot get this visa on arrival or online; you need to go through an embassy or consulate. Apply at an embassy or consulate | A visa is required for Moroccan passport holders. There is no eVisa option for your nationality. You must apply for a visa at a Solomon Islands embassy or consulate before travel. Processing times vary, so start well in advance. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, you'll need to renew it before applying for the visa. At least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from the Solomon Islands. Check your passport's expiry date now. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe immigration officer needs a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank visa page for the entry stamp. Ensure no stamps or markings occupy the page. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration wants to see that you plan to leave the Solomon Islands. Proof of departure | You must have a confirmed return or onward ticket to a country you are eligible to enter. This is typically checked at check-in and upon arrival. | Required |
| Proof of sufficient fundsNot always asked, but having proof avoids problems at immigration. For your stay | You may be asked to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in the Solomon Islands. Carry bank statements or a credit card in your name. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any online arrival form. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Moroccan citizens entering the Solomon Islands. | Not required |
| eVisa applicationOnly certain nationalities can use the eVisa; Morocco is not one of them. Not available for Moroccan citizens | The Solomon Islands eVisa program does not apply to Moroccan passport holders. Do not attempt to apply online; use the embassy/consulate route instead. | Not required |
No visa on arrival — sort it before you fly
Moroccan passport holders cannot get a Solomon Islands visa at Honiara airport. If you show up without a pre-approved eVisa, you'll be refused boarding at your departure airport or turned back on arrival. Apply online well before your trip.
Transit countries need their own checks
Most routes to Honiara connect through Australia, Fiji, or Papua New Guinea. Each has its own transit or visa rules for Moroccan citizens — Australian transit in particular has strict conditions. Check those separately; your Solomon Islands eVisa doesn't cover them.
Cash matters in the Solomon Islands
The currency is the Solomon Islands dollar (SBD). ATMs exist in Honiara but are scarce elsewhere, and many guesthouses and local businesses outside the capital don't take cards. Bring enough cash or plan your withdrawals around Honiara.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Solomon Islands immigration eVisa portal and complete the application. Upload a scanned passport bio page, a passport-style photo, your flight itinerary, and accommodation details. Pay the fee by card. Do this at least two to three weeks before departure — processing isn't instant and you don't want to be chasing it the day before your flight.
2
Print your approval and assemble documents
Once approved, print the eVisa approval letter — don't rely on your phone at the check-in desk. Put it in the same folder as your passport, return ticket, and hotel booking. Airlines flying to Honiara routinely check visa status before issuing a boarding pass.
3
Check in and show your documents
At check-in, present your passport and printed eVisa approval. If you're routing through Brisbane, Nadi, or Port Moresby, the transit country's airline staff will also verify you have the right to enter the Solomon Islands before letting you board the final leg.
4
Fill in the arrival card on the plane
You'll get an arrival card before landing at Honiara International Airport. Fill it in with your flight number, accommodation address, and purpose of visit. Keep it with your passport — you hand it to the immigration officer.
5
Clear immigration in Honiara
At Honiara International Airport, join the arrivals queue and present your passport, eVisa approval, and arrival card. The officer may ask how long you're staying and where. Answer directly. Once stamped, collect your bags and head through customs — biosecurity checks for food and plant material are taken seriously here.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Moroccan passport holders must get a Solomon Islands visa before travelling. It's handled through the online eVisa system, so you apply from home and arrive with approval already in hand. There's no visa-on-arrival option for Moroccan passports.
Processing times vary, but plan on at least one to two weeks. Apply three weeks ahead if you can — that leaves room for follow-up questions or a resubmission if a document isn't clear. Don't book a non-refundable flight before you have the approval in hand.
The eVisa is issued for a specific period based on your application and itinerary. Check the dates on your approval letter carefully — your permitted stay is tied to what's granted, not to a generic maximum. If you want to stay longer than granted, you'd need to apply for an extension with Solomon Islands immigration in Honiara, and extensions aren't guaranteed.
Extensions aren't part of the standard eVisa process. If you think you'll want to stay longer, sort out the correct visa category before you travel rather than trying to extend on the ground in Honiara. Overstaying creates real problems when you try to leave.
Your passport (6+ months validity, one blank page), your printed eVisa approval, a completed arrival card, and ideally your return ticket and accommodation details. Immigration may ask about your length of stay and where you're staying — have clear answers ready.
That depends on the transit country, not the Solomon Islands. If you're connecting through Brisbane, Sydney, or Nadi, check that country's transit rules separately — Australian transit without a visa has specific conditions, and Moroccan passport holders may need an Australian transit visa. Sort this out before booking, because it's a separate application from your Solomon Islands eVisa.
You'll be notified through the portal. Rejections usually come down to unclear documents, insufficient funds, or incomplete itineraries. You can typically reapply with corrected information, but it costs time — which is why applying well ahead of your flight matters. If you're unsure why it was refused, contact Solomon Islands immigration directly before resubmitting.
