What it means in practice
30 days is about a month. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 30 November 2026, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.
For a longer base you need an extension, if one exists, or a different visa from the start. Repeated back-to-back entries are at the officer's discretion.
How the Solomon Islands counts your stay: Tourist visa: up to 3 months per entry. Visa-exempt (reciprocal) passports: 90 days per single entry.

- Printed or saved visa approval and VARN
- Return or onward ticket and proof of funds may be checked
- Yellow fever certificate if arriving from a yellow fever country

How to avoid overstaying
- Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
- Plan to leave a day or two early. With 30 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
- Extend before you run out. Tourist visa holders may apply at the Immigration visa counter before the entry permit expires; fee USD 100, paid at the Finance & Treasury cashier. The 90-day exemption cannot be extended.
- Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for the Solomon Islands. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
Good to know
Official details are shown in English.
- Stays over 90 days need an HIV test for the visa or residence application.
- Dual citizenship is not recognised, which can limit consular help.
