Mexico to Papua New Guinea visa requirements

Mexican ordinary passport holders need a visa for Papua New Guinea, but can apply online for the Easy Visitor Permit (EVP) eVisa, which grants a single-entry tourist stay of up to 60 days. There is no visa-free or standard visa-on-arrival channel for Mexican citizens. Papua New Guinea requires Mexican (MX) ordinary passport holders to obtain a visa before tourism travel, but Mexico is on the list of nationalities eligible for the online Easy Visitor Permit (EVP), an eVisa issued through the PNG Immigration & Citizenship Authority (ICA) e-Visa portal. The EVP is a single-entry permit allowing a tourist stay of up to 60 days from arrival, cannot be used for paid work, and is generally non-extendable. Applications are lodged entirely online with a fee of USD 50, supporting documents (passport bio page, onward/return ticket, accommodation) are uploaded, and the fee is paid before submission. Processing is fast, typically 1-2 business days. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay. Because Mexican citizens are not eligible for visa-free entry or the broad visa-on-arrival channel offered to a small set of nationalities, the EVP eVisa is the correct and recommended route. Always apply through the official ICA portal (evisa.ica.gov.pg) rather than third-party agents that add service fees.
