Required documents

3 items

Identity

  • Visitor Visa application

    Required

    Everyone needs a Visitor Visa to enter Papua New Guinea as a tourist, there's no visa-free nationality. If your nationality is on ICA's Visa on Arrival list (which includes, among others, Canada, Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Caledonia, Palau, Samoa, Singapore, the Solomon Islands, Israel, Tonga, Tuvalu, the UK, the UAE and Vanuatu, check the current list directly, since it also names some passport sub-types and territories this checklist can't represent by nationality alone), you can apply through the electronic eVisa portal. Otherwise, submit the paper Entry Permit Form instead. A Visitor Visa is normally issued for a single-entry stay of up to 60 days.

Financial

  • Visa fee

    Required

    Fees are charged in US dollars, per the Migration Fees (Amendment) 2019 gazette notice, payable through ICA's online payment gateway or against the current Migration Service Fees schedule, ICA's reachable pages didn't state the tourist Visitor Visa's specific dollar figure, so confirm the current amount before applying rather than assuming one.

Purpose of travel

Why applications on this route get refused

  • Didn't enter Papua New Guinea within 6 months of the Entry Permit being issued

    Under the Migration Regulation 1979, an Entry Permit becomes invalid if you haven't entered the country within six months of it being issued, you'd need to apply again.

    How to avoid it: Time your application so your travel dates fall within six months of when the permit is issued, not six months from when you apply.

  • Couldn't show a genuine tourist purpose and intent to leave

    ICA can request evidence supporting that you're a genuine visitor who intends to depart at the end of your stay, and an application can be refused if that isn't credible.

    How to avoid it: Be ready to support your itinerary, return travel, and purpose of visit if asked, rather than assuming it won't come up.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
