Visa extension for Solomon Islands citizens without leaving the UAE

A Visa extension allows Solomon Islands passport holders to add 30 days to a UAE visit visa without exiting, flying anywhere or crossing a border. We process the extension for AED 1,200 per 30 day block, usually within two to three working days, and the whole application runs on WhatsApp. Here is everything a Solomon Islands traveller needs to know before applying: fees, limits, deadlines, paperwork and the alternatives when extension is no longer possible.

The essentials for Solomon Islands citizens: AED 1,200 per 30 day extension, no exit required, two to three working days processing, a 120 day ceiling on total stay, and a five to seven day lead time before expiry. Only the issuing agency can process it.

The meaning of Visa extension for Solomon Islands passport holders

Unlike a visa change, a Visa extension keeps your existing visa and simply adds 30 days to it. The request goes to immigration under the account that issued the visa, and approval extends the expiry date linked to your Solomon Islands passport. Nothing physical happens on your side; you continue your visit and we send the approved extension on WhatsApp.

Visa change by air or by bus means exiting and re entering on a new visa; a Visa extension avoids the exit altogether. For Solomon Islands visitors who still qualify, the extension is the cheapest and least disruptive option, and it is the one we recommend first.

Eligibility for Solomon Islands passport holders

A Visa extension is available when the visa type allows it, the extension count has not been exhausted, and the application goes through the original issuer. WhatsApp us your visa copy and we will tell you straight away if an extension is possible for a Solomon Islands passport or if you need a visa change instead.

• Tourist visa holders with extensions remaining: up to three on a 30 day visa and up to two on a 60 day visa.
• Travellers who will remain within the 120 day ceiling after the extension is added.
• Those whose visa came from White Sky Travel, since extensions run through the issuing account under immigration rules.

Where another agency issued the visa, either contact them for the extension or book an exit route with us: airport to airport at AED 1,550 or the Oman bus from AED 1,000, both of which issue a new 60 day visa whatever the original source. Visas issued on arrival and residence visas cannot be extended through this service.

Solomon Islands passport Visa extension price

Each 30 day extension costs AED 1,200, and unlike a new visa the fee does not change by nationality, so Solomon Islands passports pay the standard rate.

• A single 30 day block: AED 1,200
• Two month visa extension: AED 2,400, processed as two consecutive 30 day extensions

The fee covers the government charge and our processing, and it is not refundable if immigration declines the extension, because the government fee is paid at submission. If a fine has accrued, it is paid to immigration in addition to the extension fee. Compared with the exit routes, the extension is usually the better value for a Solomon Islands visitor who needs 30 more days, while a new 60 day visa through airport to airport or bus makes more sense when you need the full two months and have no extensions left.

Instalment plans for UAE residents

UAE residents arranging a Visa extension for a family member or friend from Solomon Islands can split the AED 1,200 using Tabby with up to 12 months, Tamara with extendable terms, or a UAE credit card with 3, 6, 9 or 12 month plans depending on the issuing bank. Other travellers pay by a secure online payment link that we send on WhatsApp. We extend spouses and children together and apply one instalment plan to the combined fee.

Visa extension requirements for Solomon Islands passport holders

Because your record already exists with immigration, we only need the following on WhatsApp:

1. A clear copy of your Solomon Islands passport, valid for at least six months.
2. One colour passport photo on a plain white background.
3. Your existing visa PDF, which tells us the entry date, expiry and extension count.

Bank statements, hotel confirmations and return tickets are not part of the extension application. In rare cases immigration asks for something extra; if so, we let Solomon Islands applicants know straight away.

How to apply for a Visa extension from Solomon Islands

1. WhatsApp your documents to +971 52 292 1011 or +971 4 220 2133 a week before expiry. We verify the dates and confirm whether a Solomon Islands passport can be extended.
2. Make the payment through the link we send. We submit as soon as it is confirmed.
3. We submit the extension to immigration and keep you updated. Most Solomon Islands applications are approved within two to three working days, though immigration may occasionally take longer.
4. You receive the approved extension as a PDF on WhatsApp showing the new expiry date. Keep it with your passport for the rest of your stay.

The five to seven day rule for Solomon Islands visitors

Immigration will not extend a visa that has already lapsed, so the request has to be in before the expiry date. Allow five to seven days: two to three working days for processing, plus a buffer for weekends and holidays. For consecutive extensions, submit each new request a few days before the previous extension expires and track your cumulative stay against the 120 day limit.

Overstay rules in 2026

Visitors do not receive any grace days after the expiry date. The overstay fine is AED 50 per day, applied uniformly across every emirate and visa category, from the first day past expiry. After 30 days of overstay, an exit permit costing about AED 250 to 300 becomes necessary as well. If your visa has already expired, extension is off the table; the practical route is to pay the fine and exit through an airport to airport change or the bus to Oman, and we can arrange either.

What to do after the maximum extensions

At 120 days total, Solomon Islands passport holders must leave the UAE. You can fly out and back the same day for AED 1,550, take the Oman bus from AED 1,000, return to Solomon Islands and reapply, or switch to residency if you have a sponsor. The two exit routes each provide a fresh 60 day visa whoever issued the first one, and we organise both.

Mistakes to avoid

• Waiting until expiry day, which leaves no room for processing time.
• Approaching a different agency. The same agency rule means we can only extend visas we issued; for others, use an exit route.
• Miscounting the 120 days. Total stay is counted from the original entry date, not from the last extension, so keep a running tally.
• Short passport validity, which leads to refusal.
• Applying with an arrival stamp or residency, which cannot be extended through an agency.

Answers for Solomon Islands citizens

Is extension without exit possible for Solomon Islands citizens?

Yes, without leaving the country. The conditions are an agency issued 30 or 60 day visa, extensions still available, a total stay under 120 days, and processing through the issuing agency.

What are the UAE visit visa extension fees?

The extension fee is AED 1,200 for 30 days and AED 2,400 for 60 days (two back to back extensions), identical for all passports including Solomon Islands.

How many days until approval?

Most extensions are approved within two to three working days. Weekends and public holidays are not counted, and immigration may occasionally take longer, so apply five to seven days before expiry.

How many times can a Solomon Islands citizen extend a UAE tourist visa?

A 30 day visa can be extended three times and a 60 day visa twice, each by 30 days. The maximum continuous stay on any UAE tourist visa is 120 days, after which exit is mandatory.

What if my visa came from a different agency?

Only the issuing agency can extend a visa in country; that is how the immigration system works, not an agency policy. For visas issued elsewhere, ask that agency, or book an exit route with us (airport to airport AED 1,550, bus from AED 1,000) for a fresh 60 day visa.

When do fines start?

No. UAE visit and tourist visas have no grace period. A fine of AED 50 per day applies from the day after expiry, and overstays beyond 30 days also require an exit permit of about AED 250 to 300.

Can spouse and children extend at the same time?

Yes. We process extensions for spouses, children and other family members together, and UAE residents booking for family can split the combined total across Tabby, Tamara or a UAE credit card plan.

Can immigration decline an extension?

Immigration can decline at its discretion, though it seldom does for eligible Solomon Islands applicants. The fee is not returned on refusal, and an exit route becomes necessary before expiry.
