Russian Federation to Papua New Guinea visa requirements

Russian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Papua New Guinea, but can apply online for the Easy Visitor Permit (tourist eVisa) through the official ICA eVisa portal before travel. No visa-on-arrival is available for Russian nationals. A Russia (ordinary) passport holder traveling to Papua New Guinea for tourism cannot enter visa-free and is not eligible for visa on arrival. Instead, Russia is on the list of nationalities that can apply online for the Easy Visitor Permit (EVP) — Papua New Guinea's electronic tourist visa — administered by the Immigration & Citizenship Authority (ICA) via its official eVisa portal (evisa.ica.gov.pg). The EVP is a single-entry permit allowing a 30-day tourist stay, costs USD 50, and is typically processed within 1-2 business days. Applicants need a passport valid at least six months, a passport-style photo, the passport bio-data page, an itinerary/accommodation details, and proof of onward or return travel. Once approved, the eVisa is emailed as a PDF and should be printed to present on arrival. Papua New Guinea is in the Pacific, not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should apply a week or more before departure and verify details on the official ICA site, as policies can change.
