Papua New Guinea

PNG may impose additional restrictions due to COVID-19, including lockdowns, at short notice. Masks or face coverings are mandatory in enclosed public spaces, aircraft and public transport. There is a maximum limit of 50 people gathering in public spaces. Domestic air travel is permitted but all passengers may be subject to a COVID-19 test (PCR) at the sole discretion of the provincial authorities. Those who refuse a test (where requested) may be quarantined for up to 14 days. You can't enter the country unless you have an exemption from PNG authorities and have returned a negative COVID-19 test (PCR) within seven days prior to your arrival (see Visas). Subject to written approval by PNG authorities, a traveller who has spent the seven days prior to their arrival in PNG in Australia (with the exception of Victoria) may be eligible to quarantine for seven days upon arrival.

We advise:

Do not travel to Papua New Guinea.
