Moroccan passport holders need a visa to enter the Solomon Islands.

Plan ahead — this process takes time and requires a valid passport with at least six months of validity.

No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Moroccan passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in the Solomon Islands. If you arrive without a visa, you'll be refused entry and sent back. Make sure you have your visa approved before you book flights.
Apply well in advance
There is no Solomon Islands embassy in Morocco, so you'll likely be dealing with a diplomatic mission in another country. This adds time for mailing and processing. Start your application at least 2-3 months before your planned travel date.
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended departure date from the Solomon Islands. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Solomon Islands embassy or consulate
Find the Solomon Islands diplomatic mission that covers Morocco. There is no embassy in Rabat, so you'll likely deal with the Solomon Islands High Commission in London or a consulate in another country. Email or call them to ask about the visa application process, required documents, and fees.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: your passport, photos, application form, flight bookings, accommodation proof, and financial evidence. Make copies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least one blank page and six months of validity.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Send your application by mail or in person, depending on the embassy's instructions. Pay the visa fee (amount varies — ask the embassy). Processing can take several weeks, so apply well in advance of your planned travel date.
4
Receive your visa and check the details
Once approved, you'll get a visa sticker in your passport. Check that your name, passport number, and validity dates are correct. If anything is wrong, contact the embassy immediately.
5
Arrive at Honiara International Airport
On arrival, go through immigration. Have your passport, visa, and return ticket ready. The officer may ask about your accommodation and purpose of visit. After clearing immigration, you'll collect your bags and go through customs.
