Visitors’ Permits are issued to visitors with a ticket or other means of travelling from Solomon Islands to another country which they will be able to enter and for which they hold a valid passport or other travel document. A visitor is defined as ‘…a person arriving in Solomon Islands for an intended stay of any period not exceeding three months’. Expatriate workers employed by a new business will normally need a work permit if their employment is for a period in excess of 30 days.
