Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit PG?
Finnish ordinary passport holders need a visa for Papua New Guinea, but as EU nationals they qualify for the Easy Visitor Permit (EVP) eVisa, applied online before travel for about USD 50, allowing a single-entry tourist stay of up to 60 days. Papua New Guinea is not visa-free for Finnish citizens, and it is not part of the Schengen area. Finland is a European Union member state, and PNG's Immigration and Citizenship Authority (ICA) makes EU nationals eligible for the Easy Visitor Permit (EVP), a tourist eVisa lodged through the official portal at evisa.ica.gov.pg. The online government fee is USD 50, the permit is single entry, and it authorises a tourist stay of up to 60 days that cannot be extended and does not permit paid work. A passport valid for at least six months beyond entry is required. A visa-on-arrival option also exists at Port Moresby's Jacksons International Airport for eligible nationalities, but applying for the EVP eVisa in advance is the safer, recommended route because it avoids the risk of being turned away at check-in or the border and lets travellers confirm approval before flying. Conflicting third-party sites quote higher fees (USD 100-150); these reflect agent service charges, not the official ICA fee. Travellers should always apply through the official ICA portal, not third-party intermediaries.
