Papua New Guinea eVisa Policy for UK Citizens
Papua New Guinea's visa policy for UK citizens requires advance application before travel. The electronic visa (eVisa) system was introduced to streamline the process — replacing the previous embassy-only application for most UK travelers. The eVisa allows online application without visiting a consulate, with approval typically issued within 11–15 business days. The government fee of $50 is set by Papua New Guinea immigration authorities and is subject to change. PassportsAndVisas.com monitors policy updates daily and will notify you of any fee changes after your application is submitted.
UK citizens should apply for their Papua New Guinea visa at least 18 days before departure to allow time for processing and any document corrections. Rush processing is available for travelers with imminent departure dates. The Easy Visitor Permit (EVP) is issued, and the 60-day stay period begins on arrival.
Traveling to Papua New Guinea from United Kingdom — What to Know Before You Go
Planning a trip to Papua New Guinea from United Kingdom involves a few key logistics beyond the visa. Direct flights are available from major United Kingdom hubs to Papua New Guinea's main international airports, with flight times varying depending on your departure city. We recommend booking refundable tickets until your visa is approved — PassportsAndVisas.com's service fee is charged only after visa approval, so you are not committed financially before your visa is confirmed.
Passport preparation is the most important step. Your United Kingdom passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your departure date from Papua New Guinea, and at least 2 blank pages for entry stamps. If your passport is expiring soon, PassportsAndVisas.com can expedite United Kingdom passport renewal — often faster than standard government processing times.
Once your Papua New Guinea eVisa is approved, you will receive a PDF confirmation by email. Print this document and carry it with your passport — some Papua New Guinea border officials require a physical copy, even for eVisas. Save a digital backup on your phone as well. Your visa details will also be linked to your passport number in Papua New Guinea's immigration database.
