Required documents
7 itemsIdentity
Passport valid at least 6 months, biodata page copy
RequiredThe Division states plainly that you may not be allowed in if your passport's validity is under six months. Submit a copy of the biodata page with your application.
eVisa application, submitted online before you travel
RequiredApply through the Immigration Division's own eVisa portal, register an account with a valid email address, log in, complete the online form and submit it. You'll be notified of the decision by email, and if approved you're sent a visa grant letter, a copy of which you must present on arrival. The visa runs from the date you enter Solomon Islands if you applied from abroad, or from the date it's granted if you applied while already in the country.
Financial
Evidence you can support yourself for the visit
RequiredThe Division asks you to have, and be able to show, sufficient funds to support yourself during the stay.
Visa fee: USD $50, plus a USD $50 online lodgement fee
RequiredTwo separate USD $50 charges for a standard Tourist Visa application. Check first whether you qualify for a fee-exempt route instead: nationals of the European Union, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, the People's Republic of China and the United Arab Emirates can apply for a 'Mutual Visa Exemption' visa with no visa fee under a bilateral arrangement (still applied for online, from outside Solomon Islands, with its own document list), and citizens of Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu can apply for the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG) visa, which waives the visa fee but keeps the $50 online lodgement fee. All of these are still visas you apply for in advance, 'exempted' on the Division's site describes the fee, not the requirement to apply.
Purpose of travel
Cover letter stating the purpose of your visit
RequiredAddressed to the Director, Solomon Islands Immigration Division, PO Box G26, Honiara. Set out why you're visiting.
Accommodation
Confirmation of pre-booked accommodation, if staying at a hotel

Travel

RequiredA copy of your return or onward air ticket.
Why applications on this route get refused
Passport valid for less than six months
The Division states you may not be allowed into Solomon Islands if your passport's remaining validity is under six months.
How to avoid it: Renew before applying if your passport is close to that line, six months from your entry date, not from today.
Not judged a genuine visitor or tourist
The Division's own requirement is that you 'must be a genuine visitor or tourist', this visa class is for people not engaging in business, employment or study while in the country.
How to avoid it: Keep your documents consistent with a tourism purpose, and don't use this visa class if your trip involves work or study.
Required documents missing when the application is submitted
The Division tells applicants directly: attach all required documents with your application to avoid delays in processing, incomplete lodgements slow down or risk the decision.
How to avoid it: Gather the passport biodata page, cover letter, return ticket, accommodation confirmation and proof of funds before you start the online form.
