Summary

Solomon Islands’ student permission lets students live in the country to study at an accredited institution, with an accepted place and funding for tuition and living costs. Current guidance directs the application to paper submission, so acceptance by the school does not complete the immigration process.

Published guidance allows up to two years with multiple entries. A student who continues studying must make a new application rather than assume the first permission will extend automatically.

Could this pathway work for you?

Eligibility

Your place must be for full-time study at an accredited institution. The checklist includes police and medical records.

Prepare your passport, admission evidence, and funding for tuition and living costs. Include any health, character, or guardian records required for your circumstances.

Planning higher education in Solomon Islands
  1. Secure admission and the required support Confirm the institution, course, and application checklist.
  2. Prepare the paper student application Include admission, funding, identity, and other required records.
  3. Maintain the approved study stay Arrange any new or further application before expiry.

Admission is not immigration approval, and longer study may require another application.

What This Route Allows

Published guidance provides for up to two years with multiple entries. Continuing study requires a new application, not an automatic extension. Current guidance directs these student applications to paper submission.

Arrange any further permission before the approved study stay ends. Family members need their own appropriate approval.

What This Route Is Not

An admission letter alone does not authorize entry or employment. Student permission does not provide unrestricted work rights, an automatic work visa after graduation, or permanent residence.

Next Steps

  1. Confirm the eligible institution, full-time course, and accepted place.
  2. Prepare the admission and support records with the institution’s help and check the current paper-application instructions.
  3. Obtain student permission and arrange any further application before your approved stay ends.
