Ensure all business invitation letters are on official letterhead and clearly state the nature, duration, and purpose of business activities. Allow sufficient lead time for document preparation and postal submission.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. If you are traveling for business purposes such as meetings, negotiations, or trade activities, you should apply for a business visa rather than a tourist visa to ensure compliance with immigration and labor regulations.
Business visa holders may attend meetings, conferences, trade negotiations, and exploratory business activities. Engaging in employment or paid work requires a separate work permit in addition to the appropriate visa category.
Extensions may be possible and should be applied for through the Solomon Islands Immigration Division before the visa expires. Extension approval is at the discretion of immigration authorities.
