What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Solomon Islands embassy or consulate
There's no Solomon Islands embassy in Serbia. Find the nearest one — often in London, Canberra, or another regional hub — and email or call to ask about visa applications. They'll tell you the exact forms and fees.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport (valid 6+ months), completed application form, passport photos, proof of onward travel, and evidence of funds. Some missions may ask for a letter of invitation or hotel booking.

Submit your application
Send your documents by post or in person to the embassy/consulate. Processing can take several weeks, so apply at least a month before your planned departure.

Receive your visa and travel
Once approved, the visa is stamped in your passport. Fly into Honiara International Airport (HIR). At immigration, present your passport with the visa, your onward ticket, and any other documents they ask for. The officer will stamp you in.
