Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit SB?
Finnish ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa in advance for a short tourist trip to the Solomon Islands. As an EU citizen you are granted a free Visitor's Permit on arrival, valid for stays up to 3 months within any 12-month period, provided you hold a passport with at least 6 months' validity, an onward/return ticket, and proof of sufficient funds. The Solomon Islands grants a Visitor's Permit on arrival, free of charge, to citizens of most European Union countries, including Finland. No pre-arranged visa or eVisa is required for tourism or short visits. The permit is issued at the port of entry (Honiara/Henderson International Airport) once the immigration officer is satisfied with your documents. It allows stays for any period or periods in aggregate not exceeding three (3) months within any twelve (12) month window. Core conditions: a passport valid for at least six months beyond your intended departure with blank pages for stamps, a confirmed return or onward ticket, evidence of sufficient funds for your stay, and (if continuing onward) any visa required for your next destination. The Solomon Islands is NOT in the Schengen area, so the EU 90/180 short-stay rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering the Solomon Islands; those only concern travel within Europe. Authoritative confirmation comes from Tourism Solomons (the official national tourism body), the Solomon Islands Immigration Division, and the Wikipedia visa-policy summary, all of which place EU/Finnish nationals in the visitor-permit-on-arrival category. Because sources are consistent and the channel is free and automatic, the verdict is treated as visa-free (permit granted on arrival).
