Pakistani passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to the Solomon Islands. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Pakistani citizens, so you need to apply through a Solomon Islands embassy or consulate in advance. The process can take several weeks, so plan accordingly.

No eVisa or visa on arrival for Pakistani citizens
Do not plan to get a visa at the airport. The Solomon Islands does not offer visa on arrival for Pakistani passport holders, and there is no eVisa option. You must have a visa issued by an embassy or consulate before you fly.
Apply well in advance
Embassy processing can be slow, and you may need to mail your passport. Start the process at least 6-8 weeks before your intended departure to avoid last-minute stress.
What happens at the border
1
Locate the nearest Solomon Islands embassy or consulate
Since there's no eVisa, you must apply in person or by mail to a Solomon Islands diplomatic mission. There is no embassy in Pakistan, so check if there's one in a nearby country (e.g., the UK, Australia, or Japan). Contact them first to confirm their application process and whether they accept mail-in applications.
2
Gather your documents
Collect all required documents: passport, photos, application form, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, and financial evidence. Make copies of everything for your records.
3
Submit your application
Submit your completed application and documents to the embassy or consulate. Pay the visa fee and get a receipt. Some missions may require an in-person interview — be prepared for that.
4
Wait for processing
Processing times vary, but can take several weeks. The embassy may contact you for additional information. Check your email or phone regularly. Once approved, you'll receive a visa sticker or a separate visa document.
5
Travel to the Solomon Islands
When you arrive at Honiara International Airport (the main international gateway), go to the immigration desk. Present your passport with the visa, and your arrival card (if given on the plane). The officer will stamp your passport and may ask about your stay. Answer honestly and have your documents ready.
