Papua New Guinea has expanded its visa-on-arrival (VOA) program to include citizens of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore. Effective immediately, passport holders from these countries can obtain a VOA for short stays of up to 60 days upon arrival at Jackson's International Airport in Port Moresby.

Key Details:

  • Eligible Passports: Ordinary and official passports from the UK, Canada, and Singapore are eligible for the VOA.
  • Duration and Purpose: The VOA permits stays of up to 60 days for purposes such as leisure, tourism, and visiting family and friends.
  • Business Travelers: Travelers from these countries can also obtain a short-term single-entry business visa on arrival. This visa requires a Migration Service Fee of US$190 and is intended for business-related activities.
  • Longer Stays and Employment: Individuals planning to stay beyond 60 days or engage in employment must apply for an appropriate visa online before traveling.

This policy change aims to promote tourism and strengthen business ties by simplifying the entry process for citizens of these nations.

For the most current information and application procedures, travelers are advised to consult the official website of the Papua New Guinea Immigration & Citizenship Service Authority.
