Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit PG?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need an eVisa (Easy Visitor Permit) to visit Papua New Guinea for tourism. Brazil is NOT on PNG's reciprocal visa-on-arrival list, so you must apply online in advance via the official ICA eVisa portal before traveling. The eVisa costs USD 50, allows a single-entry stay of up to 60 days, and is valid for 6 months from issue. Papua New Guinea requires Brazilian citizens holding an ordinary passport to obtain a visa before travel. PNG operates a tiered system: a reciprocal visa-on-arrival (VOA) program limited to selected nationalities (Japan, Israel, Indonesia, China, Melanesian Spearhead Group members and all Pacific Island states), and an online eVisa portal for other eligible nationalities. Brazil is not part of the VOA program, so Brazilian tourists apply for the eVisa "Visitor visa" (also marketed as the Easy Visitor Permit) through the official Immigration and Citizenship Authority (ICA) eVisa portal at evisa.ica.gov.pg. The standard online lodgement fee is USD 50. The visitor visa is issued for a single entry, permits a stay of up to 60 days from the date of arrival, and the eVisa authorization is valid for 6 months. Applicants must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months with blank pages, and show genuine tourist intent plus onward/return travel. Separately, a K50 Green Fee (climate levy) is collected from foreign passport holders on departure. Sources consulted (ICA government site, Wikipedia visa policy, and visa-service references) are consistent that there is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Brazil; given that, the conservative and correct verdict is eVisa-required in advance.

Frequently asked

Can Brazilians get a visa on arrival in Papua New Guinea?—
No. PNG's visa-on-arrival is reciprocal and restricted to a short list of nationalities (such as Japan, Israel, Indonesia, China and Pacific Island/MSG states). Brazil is not on that list, so Brazilians must obtain an eVisa online before traveling.
