About Papua New Guinea Passport
The Papua New Guinea passport sits in the mid-80s on the Henley Passport Index, with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to roughly 60 destinations - mostly across the Pacific and the Commonwealth. For the wider world a visa is usually needed, though many can now be arranged online.
A useful range of countries now offers PNG travellers a quick online eVisa or eTA - including, unusually, the UK and Canada - and those are exactly the ones we handle for you. Wherever you travel, keep your passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date.

Regional travel for Papua New Guinea
Read the travel policy details for Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea passport holders travel visa-free across much of the Pacific - Fiji, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and other island neighbours - and to Commonwealth partners such as Singapore and Malaysia. A few more grant a visa on arrival, so the region closest to home needs little planning.
Two recent wins stand out: Papua New Guinea is now eligible for both the UK ETA and the Canada eTA, so those trips no longer need a full visa. Australia, the closest neighbour, still requires a visitor visa, and the United States, Japan and Europe remain embassy visas.
