Hong Kong (SAR China) to Papua New Guinea visa requirements

Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport holders need an eVisa (the Easy Visitor Permit) to visit Papua New Guinea for tourism. It is applied for online before travel via the official ICA eVisa portal, costs USD 50, and allows a single entry of up to 60 days. Papua New Guinea is not Schengen and offers no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Hong Kong SAR passport holders. However, Hong Kong is explicitly listed among the territories eligible for the 60-day Easy Visitor Permit (EVP), Papua New Guinea's online tourist eVisa administered by the Immigration and Citizenship Authority (ICA). HK travelers apply online before departure through the official eVisa portal (evisa.ica.gov.pg), pay a USD 50 lodgement fee, and receive a single-entry permit valid for a stay of up to 60 days. The permit prohibits paid work and cannot be extended. The passport should be valid for at least 6 months on arrival, and proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds are expected. Because PNG previously required full embassy tourist visas for many nationalities and some third-party sites still describe HK that way, this guide relies on the ICA-published EVP eligibility list (which now includes Hong Kong for the 60-day category) and cross-checks with IATA-style and HKTDC references. Travelers should always confirm eligibility on the ICA portal at the time of booking.
