Visa Required

Hong Kong SAR passport holders need a visa to enter the Solomon Islands - apply in advance through the nearest Solomon Islands diplomatic mission or an approved visa agent, since there is no Solomon Islands representation in Hong Kong.

Guide last updated October 25, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date
  • Completed Solomon Islands visa application form
  • Recent passport-sized photos
  • Confirmed return or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation in the Solomon Islands
  • Proof of sufficient funds for your stay
  • Letter of invitation if visiting for business purposes
  • Travel health insurance is recommended

Visa types

  • Tourist visa: single entry, typically valid for a stay of up to 90 days, processed through the nearest Solomon Islands mission (commonly in Australia or Fiji) or an approved agent
  • Business visa: requires an invitation letter from a Solomon Islands company or organization
  • Visitor permit extensions: available through the Solomon Islands Immigration Division in Honiara for stays needing to be extended beyond the original visa validity

How to apply

  • Since there is no Solomon Islands embassy or consulate in Hong Kong, submit your application to the nearest Solomon Islands diplomatic mission (such as in Canberra or Suva) or use an approved visa processing agent
  • Prepare and submit your passport, application form, photos, and supporting documents (accommodation, funds, invitation letter if applicable)
  • Pay the visa fee as instructed by the mission or agent, typically by bank transfer or card
  • Processing normally takes 5-10 business days once the application is received, though mailing time to a mission abroad should be factored in
  • Collect or receive your passport with the visa affixed before departure

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: typically in the range of USD 50-80 depending on the processing mission or agent, plus any courier costs for mailing your passport
  • No official expedited service; most missions process within 5-10 business days of receiving a complete application
  • Budget at least 3-4 weeks in total when applying from Hong Kong, allowing for courier transit time to and from the nearest mission
  • Visa extensions in Honiara typically carry a smaller local fee and are processed within a few business days

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Start the visa process well in advance (at least a month before travel) since Hong Kong applicants must route through a mission abroad or a visa agent
  • Consider using a reputable visa processing agency to handle mailing your passport to the nearest Solomon Islands mission
  • Common rejection reasons: incomplete accommodation details, unclear travel purpose, or insufficient proof of funds
  • Most flights from Hong Kong to Honiara connect through Brisbane, Port Moresby, or Nadi
  • If you need to extend your stay, visit the Immigration Division in Honiara before your visa expires to avoid overstay penalties
