We highly recommend that all visitors to Papua New Guinea check current visa requirements and most up to date advices with their local foreign mission in advance of arrival, as PNG Immigration rulings are subject to change without notice. We do recommend that all travellers obtain a visa in advance of arrival.  For a list of locations, please visit the PNG Immigration web site.

Tourist Visas for Australian Citizens are no longer available on arrival in Papua New Guinea.
