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).

Common refusal reasons

by frequency
/01
Wrong verdict for a different passport
The free permit-on-arrival applies to EU and listed countries; nationals not on the exemption list need a pre-arranged visa. Confirm the rule matches a Finnish passport specifically.
Medium
/02
Passport under 6 months validity
Boarding or entry can be refused if the passport does not have at least six months' validity beyond departure.
Medium
/03
No return or onward ticket
Immigration may refuse the permit without proof of onward travel within the permitted period.
Medium
/04
Overstaying the 3-month aggregate limit
Staying beyond 3 months within a 12-month period without an extension breaches the permit and can lead to penalties.
Low
/05
Confusing Schengen/ETIAS rules with this trip
ETIAS and the 90/180 Schengen rule are irrelevant to entering the Solomon Islands; they apply only to travel within Europe.
