Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Polish passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in the Solomon Islands. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Solomon Islands immigration, but your airline may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Solomon Islands | Immigration officers at Honiara International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they won't let you through without it. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers occasionally ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Have bank statements or a credit card ready to show you can cover your expenses. Immigration may ask for proof of funds if you look like you're planning to work or overstay. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Immigration officers count 6 months from your entry date, not your departure. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away. No exceptions.
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but you still need a return ticket and a valid passport. Keep copies of everything — digital and paper.
