Visa & Entry

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. The Kokoda Track, a 96km trail through the Owen Stanley Range, takes 4 to 12 days to trek and requires a licensed guide and permit (PGK 150, about $40). Trekking season runs April to November. The Sepik River region is famous for traditional art and spirit houses. Diving at Kimbe Bay, Milne Bay, and Rabaul explores coral reefs and WWII wrecks.
