Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Must be valid for the duration of your stay
Your Polish passport needs to be valid only for the period you plan to stay in Solomon Islands. Airlines sometimes enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before flying.Required
Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure from Solomon Islands
Immigration at Honiara International Airport will ask to see a confirmed onward ticket before they stamp you in. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of the country ready.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
You may be asked where you're staying during the immigration interview. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host is enough — no need for a full itinerary.Recommended
Proof of funds
Evidence of sufficient money for your stay
Officers can request proof you can support yourself — a bank statement or credit card showing access to around 1,000–2,000 USD is usually sufficient. I've never been asked, but better to have it.Recommended
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Immigration officers count 6 months from your entry date, not your departure. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away. No exceptions.
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but you still need a return ticket and a valid passport. Keep copies of everything — digital and paper.
