Visas: In theory, visitors planning to stay less than three months don't require entry visas. In practice, seek advice from your nearest Solomon embassy if you are now, or have ever been, a member of a communist country, or if you're from the Indian subcontinent, Nauru or Kiribati. Visitor's permits can be extended for a further three months for a fee.
Health: It's tropical, so there's malaria. In addition, watch out for tuberculosis and gastric troubles. Water purity cannot be relied on, and the charming hookworm is endemic on the coast and in the countryside. Anyone arriving from central Africa or northern South America will require a vaccination certificate against yellow fever.
