A visa is mandatory for Papua New Guinea. UK government advice lists three ways to get one: online through the PNG Immigration and Citizenship Services Authority, at a PNG embassy or high commission, or on arrival at Jacksons International Airport in Port Moresby for eligible travellers. Your UAE residence does not waive it.
Three routes
| Route | Note |
|---|---|
| Online with ICSA | Apply before you travel |
| PNG embassy or high commission | Before travel |
| Visa on arrival | Only certain categories of traveller, Port Moresby |
Source: UK government foreign travel advice for Papua New Guinea, entry requirements, checked . The PNG ICSA site returned an error, so we cannot quote a fee. A figure of USD 50 for the online tourist visa appears in search results, but we did not confirm it. We found no Dubai agency price range, so we show none.
Arrival rules
- Passport valid at least 6 months beyond your arrival
- An onward flight ticket may be asked for
- A free Digital Arrival Card, completed within 72 hours of arrival, required since
- A yellow fever certificate if you travel from a risk country
- Strict customs: many fruits, vegetables and animal products are banned
Which route for a UAE resident
Pick the online route if you want an answer before you book flights. Visa on arrival is limited to certain categories, and we could not read which. Do not buy tickets on the hope that you qualify.
Embassy
We could not find a Papua New Guinea mission in the UAE foreign ministry directory page. Ask PNG immigration which office handles your application.
How it works with us
Pass us your passport copy and dates through WhatsApp or the form on this page. An adviser picks the route that suits your passport, fills in the online forms with you, and gives one price up front. We watch the file after it goes in. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service. PNG immigration issues or refuses the visa.
Fees taken by the authority are not given back on a refusal. Before payment, the adviser writes down what part of our total, if any, you would get back.
