Papua New Guinea visa FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Papua New Guinea eVisa.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a Papua New Guinea visa?
Almost all foreign nationals require a visa or entry permit to enter Papua New Guinea. Citizens of many countries, including Australia, the USA, UK, and EU nations, can apply online for an Easy Visitor Permit (eVisa). If your country is not on the electronic list, you must apply through a PNG embassy or consulate.
How will I receive the Papua New Guinea eVisa?
Papua New Guinea uses a digital entry permit system. Once approved, you will receive a PDF document via email. You must print this document and present it to the airline at check-in and to immigration officers upon arrival at Port Moresby (Jacksons) International Airport. You can also access your digital copy anytime through your iVisa dashboard.
How long can I stay in Papua New Guinea with an eVisa?
The stay duration depends on your nationality. Most Easy Visitor Permit holders are granted either 30 days or 60 days. This is a single-entry permit, meaning it expires once you leave the country.
Can I extend my stay in Papua New Guinea?
Yes. You can apply for an extension at the Immigration and Citizenship Authority (ICA) office in Port Moresby. You must apply well before your current permit expires and pay the required extension fee.
How long does Papua New Guinea eVisa processing take?
Government processing can take up to 15 business days. With iVisa's expedited service, we aim to review and process your application as quickly as possible, so you avoid last-minute travel stress.
Do children/minors need a Papua New Guinea eVisa?
Yes. Every traveler must have their own valid passport and a separate visa. Parents or legal guardians can complete the application on behalf of their children. Parents can manage applications for their children using our 'Add another person' feature.
What is the "Green Fee" for Papua New Guinea?
The Green Fee is a K50 (approx. $13) climate levy introduced for all foreign passport holders departing PNG. This is usually paid at the airport or designated collection points before you leave the country to help offset carbon footprints.
What happens if my Papua New Guinea eVisa application is denied?
Denials often occur due to incomplete documents. Because government fees are generally non-refundable, iVisa provides a secondary manual review of your application to ensure everything is perfect before submission. We also offer optional denial protection.
iVisa vs. the official Papua New Guinea process
Why travelers choose iVisa
On your own
- Papua New Guinea offers eight visitor classes across two nationality schedules, with no eligibility wizard to tell you which one fits your trip.
- The stay a passport qualifies for is set by footnote asterisks inside a government table, and travelers routinely book trips on the wrong assumption.
- The portal puts an email registration wall in front of the application form, and the guidance itself is split across two separate government sites plus a paper form fallback.
- Some applications are granted automatically and others go to further consideration, and the government publishes no timeline for the second path.
- The government site and its support run in English only, by phone, email and a web enquiry form, with no chat.
- We match your passport and your travel plans to the correct class before you apply, so you are not filing the wrong one.
- We check your passport against both government schedules, so the permit you buy matches the trip you have booked.
- One guided flow that gathers everything in one place, with no account to create first.
- We track your application and tell you where it stands rather than leaving you to guess.
- Round-the-clock human support by chat, WhatsApp, phone and email, in your own language.
