How the High Commission was established
According to the MEA brief of July 2026, the Solomon Islands established its Honorary Consulate in New Delhi in 2003.
At a meeting with Minister of State Shri Rajkumar Ranjan Singh in Doha on 7 March 2023, the then Foreign Minister of the Solomon Islands, Mr. Jeremiah Manele, requested India's support for the establishment of the Solomon Islands' High Commission in New Delhi. On 16 March 2023, a Solomon Islands delegation arrived in New Delhi to undertake groundwork for the establishment of its resident Mission.
On 6 September 2023, the Solomon Islands' first High Commissioner to India presented his Credentials to the Honourable President of India.
Consulates
The register, as read on 24 September 2026, lists no consulates and no honorary consulates of Solomon Islands in India. The High Commission in New Delhi is therefore the only Solomon Islands office in India recorded in the register, and readers in any part of India should contact it directly.
National day
Solomon Islands' national day is 7 July (Independence Day).
India's representation for Solomon Islands
The High Commission of India in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, is concurrently accredited to the Solomon Islands, and Indian nationals in the Solomon Islands who need consular help should approach it. According to the brief, there are presently about 30 Indian passport holders in the Solomon Islands. Shri Piyush Goyal interacted with the Indian community during the first-ever ministerial visit from India, to Honiara in October 2016.
Visas
An MoU between the Governments of India and the Solomon Islands on exemption from visa requirements for holders of Diplomatic and Official Passports was signed on 21 June 2022.
The brief contains no information on visa requirements for holders of ordinary passports, on e-visas or on air connections between India and the Solomon Islands. This guide therefore gives no visa fees, processing times or eligibility rules.
Indian nationals planning travel to the Solomon Islands should check current requirements with the High Commission of Solomon Islands in New Delhi. Solomon Islands nationals planning travel to India, including those attending ITEC courses, should check current requirements with the High Commission of India in Port Moresby.
Honorary consuls
Solomon Islands currently has no honorary consuls in India, according to the register. Where a country appoints honorary consuls, they have limited powers, so visa, passport and other consular requirements for Solomon Islands should always be confirmed with the High Commission in New Delhi.
