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.
