Poland to Papua New Guinea visa requirements

Polish passport holders need a visa for Papua New Guinea. The standard route for tourism is an online eVisa (Easy Visitor Permit / Visitor visa) applied for before travel via the official evisa.gov.pg portal, typically allowing a 60-day single-entry stay. A Poland (PL) ordinary passport holder cannot enter Papua New Guinea visa-free. Poland is not on PNG's visa-free or general visa-on-arrival lists, so the practical, recommended channel for a short tourist visit is the online eVisa administered by the PNG Immigration and Citizenship Authority (ICA/ICSA) through evisa.gov.pg. The most common product is the Easy Visitor Permit (EVP) / Visitor visa, available for a 30- or 60-day stay, single entry, with an online application fee around USD 50 (charged in the Kina equivalent). The passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Separately, since 1 October 2025 ALL travellers must also submit a free online Digital Arrival Card within 72 hours of arrival - this is in addition to, not a replacement for, the visa. A limited visa-on-arrival channel exists at Jacksons International Airport (Port Moresby) for certain traveller categories, but it is not a reliable default for Polish tourists, so applying for the eVisa in advance is strongly recommended. Where sources conflict on the fee and exact validity, the conservative figures (USD 50 online fee, 60-day single entry, advance eVisa) are used.
