Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Solomon Islands?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Solomon Islands nationals need a visa for Indonesia and must obtain it before departure; visa on arrival is not their standard route.
Travellers leaving Honiara on a Solomon Islands passport to reach Bali, Sulawesi or the Raja Ampat archipelago must arrange their tourist visa in advance. Indonesia directs these applications to its online e-Visa portal and, where required, to its diplomatic missions. Unlike some nationalities, Solomon Islanders cannot count on a simple visa on arrival: it is best to secure the document before boarding.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Solomon Islands citizens must obtain a visa before entering Indonesia for a tourist stay. Visa on arrival is not their usual route; the process runs through the electronic e-Visa requested online and, in some cases, through an application to an Indonesian mission. Do not plan your trip assuming you can obtain the visa at the airport counter.
How and where to apply
From Honiara, the e-Visa application is filed online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id: create an account, complete the form, upload your documents and pay by card. As the Solomon Islands may not host an Indonesian embassy, contact the Indonesian diplomatic mission responsible for the region if consular processing is required. The official portal specifies the exact channel to use.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Solomon Islands passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, a recent passport photo, a scan of the bio page and an online payment method. A return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sometimes evidence of funds may be required. The fee amount and validity period are not confirmed here — check the official portal for the current rate.
Processing and tips
The processing time is not guaranteed in our source; as a consular review is possible, plan well ahead and file your application several weeks before leaving Honiara. Check that the name and passport number match the document exactly to avoid any hold-up. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the visa throughout the trip.
Common mistakes
The main mistake is relying on visa on arrival: it is not the norm for Solomon Islanders and its absence can prevent boarding. Avoid third-party sites that overcharge; only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is authoritative. Finally, a passport valid for less than six months or an application filed too late are classic grounds for refusal.
