One group agreement or destination policy can support many passport relationships. Dates are recorded only when an official source establishes them.

  1. Visa-free

    Solomon Islands: PRC ordinary passports visa-free for short stays

    The Immigration Division states that the PRC mutual exemption permits ordinary-passport holders to travel to Solomon Islands without a visa.

    • The direct mutual-exemption statement covers ordinary PRC passports and says visa-free entry is up to 30 days per visit for tourism, business, family or transit purposes.
    • The same operational page also contains online-application, grant-letter and differing accumulated-stay text. No duration, eVisa route, fee, entry count or port is normalized beyond the expressly stated visa-free ordinary-passport status.
    • Work remains outside this short-visitor policy.

    Solomon Islands: EU ordinary passports visa-free for short stays

    The Immigration Division says the EU–Solomon Islands waiver applies to ordinary passports for visa-free short stays, excluding Ireland.

    • The source expressly covers ordinary passports, short stays for tourism, cultural visits, scientific activities or business, and excludes paid employment.
    • The page states a maximum 90 days in any 180-day period and excludes Ireland; it does not establish a route for other European nationalities or special travel documents.
    • The page also presents online-application and grant-letter text alongside its direct visa-free statement. This policy relies only on the express short-stay waiver and assigns no application, port, fee, entry-count or other operational condition.

    Solomon Islands: UAE ordinary passports visa-free for short stays

    The Immigration Division states that the UAE reciprocal agreement covers ordinary passports and permits visa-free entry.

    • The source expressly says the reciprocal agreement covers all passport classifications, including ordinary passports, for up to 90 days.
    • The same operational page contains online-application and grant-letter text. This policy relies only on the direct visa-free agreement statement and does not normalize an eVisa, entry count, fee or port.
    • Work is excluded.

    Solomon Islands: concessional ordinary passports receive a visitor visa on arrival

    The current legal notice designates this nationality cohort for concessional entry, and government guidance says the cohort need not apply in advance and receives a visitor visa on arrival.

    • Legal Notice No. 128 names this exact concessional-country cohort and repeals earlier concessional notices. The government guidance says they do not apply in advance and are granted a visitor visa on arrival.
    • Arrival requires a passport valid for at least six months and a confirmed return or onward ticket; immigration retains ordinary entry and admission discretion.
    • This is visa_on_arrival, not visa-free admission. The current Immigration tourist page calls arrival issuance discretionary and gives inconsistent general tourist durations, so no uniform stay, extension, entry count, fee or port is assigned.
    • China and the covered EU ordinary passports are excluded because current, more specific mutual-exemption sources directly establish visa-free treatment; UAE is separately supported by its specific agreement.

    Solomon Islands: gazetted concessional ordinary passports receive visitor visa on arrival

    Legal Notice No. 128 remains the controlling published instrument specifying this concessional-entry cohort. Current Ministry guidance says members need not apply in advance and receive a visitor visa on arrival. The later unsigned delivery-policy repeal assertion does not identify or supply a later operative instrument capable of superseding the Gazette.

    • This is an ordinary-passport tourist/visitor baseline for the exact nationality cohort specified in Legal Notice No. 128; it is not visa-free admission.
    • The live Ministry guidance requires a passport valid for at least six months and a confirmed return or onward ticket. Immigration retains document, purpose, character and final-admission discretion.
    • The current Immigration tourist page describes visa-on-arrival availability, but its duration and generic online/grant-letter content conflict with other operational pages. No uniform stay, fee, entry count, port or online workflow is normalized.
    • The June/July 2026 delivery-policy PDF creates a material challenge because it claims the Minister repealed concessional arrival issuance. It has no approval date, approving authority, signature, operative repeal date, or citation to a later Gazette/legal notice; it is insufficient to retract this Gazette-based policy. Recheck if a later signed Gazette or ministerial instrument is published.

    Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 advance-visa visitor cohort

    The State of Palestine's current ordinary-passport schedule labels this exact destination cohort "Visa is required" and separately labels electronic and arrival-issued routes elsewhere in the same schedule. It is normalized as advance visa required.

    • This is the Ministry's ordinary-passport short-visitor baseline. The source separately labels eVisa and visa-on-arrival rows, so a bare "Visa is required" row is not recast as either route.
    • Georgia and Panama have separately stated waivers for holders of specified third-country visas. Those conditional document routes are excluded from this passport-only baseline.
    • Mission availability, passport recognition, individual admission, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official, service and other special-document treatment are outside this policy.

    Taiwan ordinary passports: Solomon Islands advance visa

    Taiwan's current consular guidance says Solomon Islands cancelled visa on arrival for Taiwan passports and requires a visa application before travel.

    • Applies to an ordinary Taiwan passport holder travelling as a short visitor.
    • Taiwan's consular page says Solomon Islands cancelled visa on arrival on 24 April 2025, so the visa must be obtained before travel.
    • Taiwan and Solomon Islands have no offices in each other's territory; the guidance warns that application can be difficult and suggests an agent or a nearby Solomon Islands mission.
    • Work, residence, transit, special documents, carrier checks and final admission remain outside scope.

    Seychellois passports: named visa-free short-visit cohort

    Seychelles' live Foreign Ministry waiver table expressly identifies these destinations as not requiring a visa for Seychellois passport holders and supplies the listed stay limits.

    • The source lists Bangladesh for one to three months; Cambodia for two weeks; North Macedonia for 90 to 180 days; and Cabo Verde for 60 days.
    • It lists Comoros, Sierra Leone, Tunisia and Solomon Islands for one to three months; Côte d'Ivoire and Djibouti for 30 days; and Grenada for 90 days.
    • The table is a live passport-government schedule but has no visible table update date; confirm directly before travel. Work, residence, transit, special passports and final admission remain outside scope.

    Colombian ordinary passports: Solomon Islands advance visitor visa

    Colombia's current Foreign Ministry table says Solomon Islands tourist visitors need a consular visa or authorization before travel, not a visa on arrival.

    • Applies to an ordinary Colombian passport holder travelling as a short visitor.
    • The table describes consular processing for a visitor visa or authorization before travel and no arrival visa.
    • Work, residence, special documents and final admission remain outside scope.

    Named ordinary passports: Solomon Islands electronic Tourist visa

    The live official Tourist eVisa nationality dataset explicitly names this cohort, and the current Immigration visitor page sends an approved visa grant letter by email before travel.

    • Use a valid ordinary passport of one of the named nationalities for tourism, leisure, holiday or social-visit travel. The Immigration page generally calls for a passport valid at least six months beyond travel, evidence of onward departure, funds and travel plans.
    • Submit the Tourist application and payment online. The Immigration page says a decision and, on approval, a visa grant letter are sent to the provided email; present that grant letter when entering Solomon Islands. This is electronic pre-travel visa issuance, not the separate physical-arrival route.
    • The Tourist product is single entry for up to 90 days from arrival. It does not establish work, business, study, residence, transit, yacht/crew, family, official, diplomatic, refugee, stateless or other special-document access.
    • The generic Tourist page says a 30-day visa on arrival may apply to eligible nationals, but it publishes no matching arrival cohort. This policy relies only on the closed electronic Tourist nationality dataset and does not transfer any arrival entitlement.
    • Approval remains discretionary; final admission, document authenticity, health, character and border-control requirements remain applicable.
