Saudi Arabia to Solomon Islands visa requirements

Saudi Arabia ordinary passport holders need a visa for the Solomon Islands. Saudi Arabia is not on the visa-exempt or free visitor-permit list, so travelers must obtain a pre-arranged visa approval. The Solomon Islands Immigration Division now issues this through its online eVisa portal before travel; the standard tourist visa is single-entry, valid for entry within 30 days and a stay of up to 150 days (initial 3 months, extendable). The Solomon Islands grants visa-free entry or a free visitor permit on arrival to a defined list of nationalities (most EU/EEA states, the US, UK and Commonwealth countries, China, Singapore, Malaysia, UAE, Israel and others). Saudi Arabia appears on none of these lists. Per the Solomon Islands visa policy, nationalities not exempt "may obtain a visa on arrival if they have a pre-arranged visa approval" — in practice this means applying in advance through the Immigration Division's online eVisa portal and receiving an approval/eVisa by email before boarding. The standard Visitor (Tourist) visa is single-entry, allows entry within 30 days of issue and a stay of up to 150 days (an initial 3 months, extendable), and costs USD 50 when applied for online (USD 100 standard). Applicants must show a passport valid 6+ months, a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds (roughly USD 150/day). There is no guaranteed processing time, so applying several weeks ahead is advised. Because no confirmed visa-free or genuine on-arrival channel exists for Saudi ordinary passport holders, the route is classified as eVisa (pre-arranged approval required before arrival).
