Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Greek passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in the Solomon Islands. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Solomon Islands immigration, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration at Honiara International Airport will ask to see a confirmed return or onward ticket before they let you through. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this at the counter before stamping you in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host showing your address in the Solomon Islands. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Immigration rarely asks for it, but it helps if you're staying longer than a week or have no return ticket details. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the basics
Visa-free doesn't mean no preparation. Your passport must be valid for 6+ months, and you need a return ticket. These are the most common reasons for denied boarding.
Overstaying is costly
The 90-day stay is not extendable. Overstaying even a day can lead to fines and a mark on your record. Set a reminder to leave on time.
