No visa on arrival — apply in advance
There is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa for Mongolian passport holders. You must get a visa from a Solomon Islands embassy or consulate before you travel. Start the process at least 4–6 weeks before your trip.
Travel insurance is a smart idea
While not always mandatory, travel insurance is strongly recommended. Medical costs in the Solomon Islands can be very high — a hospital stay can cost hundreds of dollars per day. Insurance covers this and other emergencies.

Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa-on-arrival for Mongolian passport holders. You must obtain a visa from a Solomon Islands embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, but can vary. Apply at least a month before your planned departure to be safe.
You need to apply at a Solomon Islands diplomatic mission. The nearest options for Mongolian citizens are the embassy in Tokyo (Japan), the high commission in Canberra (Australia), or the consulate in Suva (Fiji). Check their websites for application forms and requirements.
You'll typically need a valid passport (6+ months validity), completed application form, passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, proof of sufficient funds, and a return ticket. Some embassies may also ask for a letter of invitation or travel insurance.
Visa fees vary by embassy and type of visa. Expect to pay around USD 50–100 for a tourist visa. Check with the specific embassy for the exact fee and payment method.
No. The visa is not extendable. You must leave by the date stamped on your visa. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
If you are arriving from a country with yellow fever, you may need a vaccination certificate. Mongolia is not a yellow fever endemic country, so this is unlikely to apply unless you have recently traveled to an affected area. Check with the embassy.
