United Arab Emirates to Solomon Islands visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders should apply online through the Solomon Islands Immigration eVisa portal for the fee-exempt UAE mutual visa/grant letter before travel. The official Solomon Islands page lists UAE ordinary passports as covered for a free single-entry stay up to 90 days, but it still requires an online application and a grant letter. As of 18 June 2026, the earlier 'no visa or eVisa needed' wording is too broad. The Solomon Islands Immigration Division's UAE mutual visa exemption page covers UAE diplomatic, official, and ordinary passports, lists both the visa fee and online fee as exempted, and gives a 90-day visa validity and maximum stay, but it also instructs UAE citizens to complete an online form through the eVisa portal, submit a passport biopage plus support/travel arrangements, wait for an emailed grant letter, and present that grant letter on entry. This makes the safest current classification an eVisa-style, fee-exempt electronic grant letter rather than pure visa-free entry. There is official nuance: the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs page, last modified 31 July 2025, marks normal UAE passports as visa-free and says UAE citizens receive a free tourist entry visa on arrival at the airport valid for 30 days. General travel guidance from the U.S. State Department also says visitors may obtain a 30-day visitor permit on arrival at Henderson International Airport, with total stay not exceeding 90 days in a 12-month period. Because the destination immigration authority publishes a UAE-specific online grant-letter process, travelers should apply through the Solomon Islands eVisa portal before departure and carry the approval, even if a shorter free arrival permit may be available at Honiara airport. A passport with at least 6 months' validity, return or onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds, and travel arrangements/accommodation details should be carried.
