Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?
Apply through the MSG eVisa portal: register an account using an active email and password, log in, complete and submit the MSG form, passport bio-page/details, return ticket and online fee. The detail page lists no visa fee and a USD 50 online lodgement fee. It permits an extension application before expiry, well in advance, at the Solomon Islands Immigration visa-service counter while in the country; the USD 150 extension fee is paid at the Finance and Treasury cashier. The page limits this category to short visits, with no employment or long-term stay.

Limits of the record- The older Visiting overview describes MSG as non-extendable; it conflicts with the current detail page’s express extension procedure. The maximum extension length and eligibility criteria for an individual extension are not specified.
