labalon 07:47 UTC 25 Nov 2011 | hi there, very soon we will be flying from Manila to Jayapura then by land to Vanimo for work. i would like to ask if we still need to secure Visa for this trip arrangement. What type of Visa in particular please? Many thanks. |
mvcb 02:16 UTC 28 Nov 2011 | Hi labalon, yes you need a visa to enter Papua New Guinea. General visa requirements & information are found at http://www.pngtourism.org.pg/PassportVisaInfo. If you are travelling for work and require a different visa then it will be best to contact the nearest PNG High Commission or Embassy. A list of these is found at http://www.pngtourism.org.pg/MissionsAndPosts have a good trip. MVCB | 1
Laszlo 05:41 UTC 29 Nov 2011 | Yes, you do need a PNG visa, and while you can get one in Jayapura, it can be a pain and take a week even just for a simple tourist visa. Try getting your visa sorted out before arriving in Jayapura (for example in Manila?) if you can. | 2
labalon 01:02 UTC 30 Nov 2011 | hi guys, thanks for your immediate response. I will tell my colleagues about this and we hope to land in PNG by January 2012. God bless. | 3
labalon 01:55 UTC 02 Dec 2011 | hi again, i just want to clarify, how about entering the Indonesian territory, Jayapura, are we require to get transit visa? thanks. | 4
bon_bon 21:08 UTC 08 Dec 2011 | Dose anyone have information about the other way? I plan to travel in NPG, and cross by land into Indo from Vamino. where is the best place for me to get a Indo visa? (any chance for a visa on arrival?!) Tank you! | 5
Laszlo 13:44 UTC 09 Dec 2011 | You can only get visa on arrival if you enter by sea at Jayapura port. By land, a visa is required and can normally be obtained in Vanimo. | 6
