Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit SB?
Canadian passport holders do not need a visa for tourism in the Solomon Islands. You receive a free Visitor's Permit on arrival, valid for stays of up to 3 months within any 12-month period. Canada is not on the Solomon Islands' formal visa-exemption list, but Canadian ordinary passport holders are granted a free Visitor's Permit on arrival, allowing tourist stays of up to three months in aggregate within any twelve-month period. No visa or eVisa needs to be obtained in advance and no fee is charged for the permit itself. At immigration in Honiara (Henderson International Airport) you must present a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure, a confirmed return or onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds; immigration officers may also ask for accommodation details. The Visitor's Permit can be extended in-country for a further period of up to 3 months where special circumstances justify it, by applying to the Immigration Division of the Ministry of Commerce, Industries, Labour and Immigration in Honiara. Stays beyond 90 days that convert to a visa or residence permit trigger an HIV test requirement. Both the official Tourism Solomons website and the Government of Canada travel advisory confirm the no-visa-required tourist channel for Canadians as of 2026. The Solomon Islands is in the South Pacific and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
