Israel to Papua New Guinea visa requirements

Yes, an Israeli ordinary passport holder needs a visa for Papua New Guinea. The reliable channel is the online Easy Visitor Permit (eVisa) from PNG's Immigration & Citizenship Authority (ICA): USD 50, single entry, up to 60 days. Apply before travel at evisa.ica.gov.pg and also complete the mandatory PNG Digital Arrival Card. Papua New Guinea is not visa-free for Israeli citizens. PNG has digitised its entry system: the standard route for tourists is the online Easy Visitor Permit (EVP / eVisa) issued by the Immigration & Citizenship Authority (ICA) via evisa.ica.gov.pg. The EVP costs USD 50, is single-entry, permits a stay of up to 60 days from arrival, and cannot be extended; paid work is prohibited. While PNG historically offered visa-on-arrival at Port Moresby (Jacksons) International Airport for many nationalities including Israel, the VOA scheme has been suspended/restricted in favour of the eVisa and is unreliable for advance planning, so travelers should secure the eVisa before departure. Separately, since 1 October 2025 every international arrival must complete the PNG Digital Arrival Card (PNGDAC) online within 72 hours of arrival — this is separate from and additional to the visa. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months with blank pages.
