Vietnam to Papua New Guinea visa requirements

Vietnamese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Papua New Guinea. The standard route is the online Visitor eVisa (Easy Visitor Permit) from the Immigration & Citizenship Authority (ICA), applied for before travel. Vietnam is NOT on PNG's visa-free or visa-on-arrival lists. A Vietnam ordinary passport holder traveling to Papua New Guinea for tourism must obtain a visa in advance. Papua New Guinea is not in the Schengen area and has no visa-waiver or visa-on-arrival arrangement with Vietnam. The Immigration & Citizenship Authority (ICA) operates an electronic visa (eVisa) system at evisa.ica.gov.pg, where Vietnamese travelers apply for a Visitor Visa / Easy Visitor Permit (EVP) for tourism. Visa-on-arrival in PNG is reserved for a defined list of nationalities (mainly Pacific island states, ASEAN neighbors such as Indonesia and Singapore, China with conditions, Japan, the UK, UAE, and others) and Vietnam is not on that list, so the eVisa must be secured online before boarding. The tourist eVisa is typically issued for single entry, allows a stay of up to 60 days, and carries an online lodgement fee of around USD 50. Applicants need a passport valid for at least 6 months, a passport photo, travel itinerary/return ticket, accommodation details, and proof of sufficient funds. Processing is generally a few business days but travelers should apply at least 2-3 weeks ahead. Always confirm current eligibility and fees directly on the ICA portal before booking, as PNG has been actively digitizing and revising its entry-permit categories.
