  • No processing time - granted immediately at the airport immigration desk
  • Extensions in-country: a modest fee applies (typically under USD 50), payable at the Immigration Division

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Book accommodation before arrival, since informal or unregistered stays can raise questions at immigration
  • Domestic inter-island transport can be limited, so confirm onward flights within the Solomons in advance
  • Carry a printed or digital copy of your return ticket to show at check-in and on arrival
  • If planning to stay past 90 days, start the extension request at the Honiara Immigration Division well before expiry
  • Cash (Solomon Islands dollars) is preferred outside Honiara; ATMs are limited on outer islands
