Peruvian passport holders need a visa to enter the Solomon Islands. There is no visa on arrival and no eVisa option for Peruvian citizens, so you must arrange your visa at a Solomon Islands embassy or consulate before you travel. Plan ahead — this process takes time and requires paperwork.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa for Solomon IslandsYou need to get this visa approved before you fly – you cannot get it on arrival. Apply at an embassy or consulate | Peruvian citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Solomon Islands. There is no eVisa option for Peruvian passport holders. Contact the nearest Solomon Islands diplomatic mission or the Solomon Islands Ministry of Foreign Affairs for application procedures. | Required |

| Return or onward ticketSolomon Islands immigration wants to see that you plan to leave before your visa expires.

No visa on arrival — plan ahead
Peruvian citizens cannot get a visa on arrival in the Solomon Islands. You must secure a visa from an embassy or consulate before you fly. Arriving without a visa means you'll be refused entry and sent back on the next flight.
Apply early — processing can be slow
There's no Solomon Islands embassy in Peru, so you'll likely be dealing with a mission abroad, possibly by mail. This adds time. Start your application at least 6 weeks before your planned travel date to avoid last-minute stress.
What happens at the border
1
Locate the nearest Solomon Islands embassy or consulate
There is no Solomon Islands embassy in Peru. You'll need to apply at a Solomon Islands diplomatic mission in a nearby country, such as Australia (Canberra or Sydney), New Zealand (Auckland), or another location that accepts applications by mail. Contact the mission to confirm they handle visa applications for Peruvian citizens.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: your passport, photos, completed application form, flight bookings, accommodation proof, and bank statements. Make copies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least one blank page and is valid for 6 months beyond your planned departure.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Send your application by mail or deliver it in person to the embassy or consulate. Pay the visa fee as instructed. Processing can take several weeks, so apply at least a month before your planned travel date.
4
Receive your visa and travel
Once approved, the embassy will stamp the visa in your passport or issue a visa label. Check the visa's validity dates and any conditions. When you arrive at Honiara International Airport, present your passport with the visa to immigration officers. They may ask about your stay, so have your accommodation details handy.
