all from the Solomon Islands Immigration Division.<\/p><p>I take this wonderful opportunity to dedicate our achievements to our hard-working Immigration officers who supported and were actively involved in developing the Immigration website, the Strategic Plan, and the Border Management System. The milestone achievements we celebrate today are the result of strong teamwork and effective leadership within the Immigration Division.<\/p><p>It is with great pleasure that I officially introduce the Solomon Islands Immigration Division\u2019s new website today. This website reflects our commitment to assisting our customers and travellers who wish to visit the Solomon Islands by providing access to online visa applications. Our aim is to ensure that the website and visa system contribute positively to securing our national borders. It also reflects our vision of achieving Immigration excellence through effective and well-managed cross-border movements. The website helps keep our customers informed about transformational changes and border reforms.<\/p><p>The core values of the Immigration Division are <strong data-start=\"1325\" data-end=\"1432\">Integrity, Commitment, Professionalism, Flexibility, Trust and Respect, Leadership, and Good Governance<\/strong>. These values form the foundation of the Division\u2019s development and operations.<\/p><p>The Immigration Division is mandated under the <em data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1583\">Immigration Act 2012<\/em> to protect the people, economy, and society by promoting safe, secure, and orderly migration. Immigration is further tasked with strengthening human security and supporting social and economic development that benefits our communities. Immigration also plays a frontline role in national security and works in partnership with other agencies to implement a multi-agency border security approach for the Solomon Islands.<\/p><p>The new website is the result of ongoing support from the <strong data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2115\">Pacific Immigration Development Community (PIDC)<\/strong> to its member countries, including the Solomon Islands Immigration Division. PIDC has strategically assisted its members to advance and modernise their immigration borders. Its regional security focus ensures compliance with international standards and best practices, while maintaining professionalism and responsiveness to national and regional security needs.<\/p><p>The Solomon Islands Immigration Division greatly appreciates the trilateral partnership between the <strong data-start=\"2580\" data-end=\"2622\">Department of Home Affairs (Australia)<\/strong> and the <strong data-start=\"2631\" data-end=\"2684\">PNG Immigration and Citizenship Service Authority<\/strong>. This trilateral partnership model has worked effectively in developing the Solomon Islands Border Management System. The partnership has grown from strength to strength and has resulted in this significant milestone achievement. The new website is designed to provide the following Immigration services to our customers and travellers: visa services, e-Gate payments, passport information, national border protection information, and policy and reform updates.<\/p><p>Today\u2019s official launch will go down in Immigration history, marking a significant milestone with the introduction and launch of the <strong data-start=\"3281\" data-end=\"3321\">Immigration Strategic Plan 2025\u20132035<\/strong>, the <strong data-start=\"3327\" data-end=\"3350\">Immigration website<\/strong>, and the <strong
