Solomon ilsnads to Bougainville now okay

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hi guys
Just went to get my PNG visa from the High Commission in Honiara
It is all okay now to get the visa and will take 5 days to process upon payment of 143 Solo dollars
Cheers

Does that mean that it is now legal to go from the Solomons straight to Bougainville, or do you fly via Port Moresby?

Yep, I was also wondering... did you specifically ask them if entering overland via Bougainville is now legal?

Funny, I was going to ask the same question. I will not believe this until I read a report posted after someone actually does the crossing.
