Papua New Guinea: current named ordinary-passport tourist Visa on Arrival cohort
ICA’s current Visa on Arrival schedule expressly makes these nationalities eligible; ICA’s visitor guidance confirms the holiday, sightseeing, social, recreational, friends-and-family visitor purpose.
- The live schedule states that VOA is currently accessible to citizens of the named countries. The schedule expressly includes ordinary passports for the United Arab Emirates; Indonesia, Israel and Japan are stated to cover all passport types.
- The Visitor Visa page limits this candidate to holiday, sightseeing, social or recreational visits and visits to friends or family; work and non-visitor categories are excluded.
- The Visitor Visa page says that, in most circumstances, a visitor visa is single-entry for 60 days. This candidate does not generalize a duration, port, fee, entry count, medical, character, funds, return-travel, or admission condition beyond that source scope.
- ICA provides an electronic application option to VOA-eligible travellers, but the directly available arrival route controls this normalized baseline. The PNG Digital Arrival Card is an online arrival declaration, not an ETA or visa.
- The related non-VOA visa route is intentionally not classified here: ICA’s current Visitor Visa page directs that group to paper filing, while its linked 2025 handbook says visitor applications are online/eVisa. That unresolved processing conflict does not affect this named direct VOA cohort.
