No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Omani passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Solomon Islands. Arriving without a visa means you'll be refused entry and sent back on the next flight. Get your visa sorted before you book tickets.
Limited diplomatic presence
Solomon Islands has very few embassies worldwide. You may need to work with a mission in a neighbouring country (like Australia or Fiji) or use a visa service. Start early — logistics can be slow.
