Frequently asked questions
Because passport rank reflects how far other countries regard a nation's citizens as a low migration risk, not GDP. A country of 740,000 with no irregular migration wave and no exported security problem gives other states no reason to tighten. Add the Commonwealth visa-free network and Pacific regional arrangements.
No. Citizenship is chiefly by descent, and naturalisation for foreigners requires long residence and case-by-case assessment. The passport's rank-30 position is exactly what gives such pitches their appeal, and exactly why caution is warranted.
No. Roughly 87% is customary land belonging to lineages and communities and cannot be transferred to foreigners; only a small share is registered land available for lease. The larger consequence is that most mining, forestry and tourism projects become entangled in disputes over who the customary landowners are — a risk resolved not by contract but by community process over years.
An Australian-led regional assistance mission deployed in 2003 at the Solomon Islands government's request following the 1998-2003 ethnic conflict, to restore security, rebuild the police and repair public finances. It concluded in 2017 on its planned timetable — one of the few multi-year international interventions to exit properly. But it did not resolve the underlying causes: rioting recurred in Honiara in 2006 and 2021.
Wantok, from 'one talk' meaning those who share a language, denotes the network of people sharing a language, lineage or island. Mutual obligation within it is strong: whoever has a job carries obligations to the whole network. It is an effective safety net in a country without state welfare, but it also places pressure on salaried individuals and on public administration.
Round log exports have accounted for much of export earnings, but extraction has exceeded regrowth for many years and international institutions warn the resource will be exhausted. This is an economy consuming natural capital rather than living on a sustainable flow — the same shape as phosphate in Nauru. Tuna fisheries are the more durable source.
Not at the level of Tuvalu or Kiribati. These are volcanic and continental islands with high terrain, so there is no prospect of losing the territory, though several small low islands have been lost to erosion. The main hazards are earthquakes, tsunami, cyclones and volcanism, as Solomon Islands sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Malaria is a real problem, among the highest burdens outside Africa, so serious pre-travel medical advice is needed. Local healthcare is limited and specialist cases transfer to Australia, New Zealand or Fiji, making insurance with medical evacuation cover absolutely mandatory. On safety, Honiara experienced rioting in 2006 and 2021 with substantial property damage.
