US passport holders can obtain a free visa on arrival at Jacksons International Airport (POM) in Port Moresby for stays up to 60 days. The visa on arrival is a single-entry tourist visa issued at the immigration counter. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry with at least 2 blank pages. A return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation are required. Bring a printed hotel booking or a letter of invitation if staying with contacts.

The 60-day stay can be extended at the Immigration and Citizenship Authority in Port Moresby. Papua New Guinea has over 800 languages, the most of any country on earth.
