Guide
Solomon Islands uses a three way system depending on your passport, an e-Visa for most nationalities, straightforward visa free entry for others under bilateral agreements, and a free visitor permit issued on arrival for a further group. Australian citizens specifically can enter visa free for up to 30 days, and the visa free or visa on arrival list has kept expanding, Hong Kong was the most recent addition, effective 26 August 2026. Regardless of which of the three tracks applies, every visitor needs a passport valid for at least six months, an onward air ticket out of the country, and evidence of sufficient funds to support the stay.
The specific length of a visa free or visa on arrival stay depends on the bilateral agreement behind it, guides describe both 90 day and 30 day allowances existing side by side depending on nationality, so this is not a single flat rule across every visa free passport.
Border crossings
- Honiara International Airport
The country's main gateway, where whichever of the three entry tracks applies to your passport, e-Visa, visa free, or free visitor permit, is processed.
Transit routes
- Check whether your nationality needs an e-Visa or qualifies for something simpler
The list of visa free and visa on arrival nationalities has been actively growing, so do not assume an e-Visa is required without checking the current list first.
- Carry your onward ticket and proof of funds regardless of visa type
These are described as standard requirements across all three entry tracks, not specific to any one of them.
Entry point notes
- Australians get a simple 30 days visa free
One of the more straightforward nationalities for entry.
- The eligible list is still expanding
Hong Kong's August 2026 addition is a reminder to check current status rather than rely on an older list.
