Why this verdict
Swiss citizens are encoded from Solomon Islands Immigration's official tourist visa / visa-on-arrival route. Solomon Islands Immigration says tourist visitors may be given a visa on arrival for 30 days and lists a USD 100 visa fee plus USD 50 online/lodgement fee. Its online-payment notice currently says online payment is not yet operational and manual processing is in use. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short visitor travel only. Work, business activity, study, residence, commercial-vessel crew transit, extensions, online-payment availability, carrier handling, onward-entry documents and Solomon Islands Immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Solomon Islands Immigration source before booking.
Conditional rules
- Work, paid activity, employment, business, study or residence Visa required
The visitor/tourist and mutual-exemption routes are short-stay routes and do not permit work; use the relevant Solomon Islands visa category for employment, business, study, residence or other non-tourist purposes.
- Stay beyond the initial visitor period Conditional
Solomon Islands Immigration says extensions/renewals must be applied for before the current visa or permit expires, and extra fees can apply.
- Commercial maritime vessel crew transit Visa required
Up to 14 days. Solomon Islands Immigration publishes a separate commercial maritime vessel transit visa for crew/personnel arriving on international flights and boarding commercial vessels.
- Passport validity below six months, missing return ticket, insufficient funds, character concerns or non-genuine visitor purpose Conditional
Solomon Islands Immigration warns that entry may be refused if passport validity is below six months or if visitor, funds, return-ticket or character requirements are not met.
