Every country or territory decides who can enter or exit through its borders. Foreign governments often require you to get a visa before they let you enter.
Visa requirements can change at short notice. It's your responsibility to make sure you have the right visa.
Types of visas
Types of visas include:
transit visas, if you're just passing through
visitor or short stay visas, usually for tourism, business, study or volunteering
long stay or immigrant visas, if you're going overseas to live or work.
Within each type, there are usually many variations. The specific visa you need often depends on the nationality you hold and the activities you plan to do there.
For example, a country may have a general tourist visa that covers most short-term visitors who want to see the sights. They may also have a series of tourist visas for specific activities.
To find out which visa you need, email [email protected] from your destination. Otherwise contact the nearest embassy or consulate in PNG.
