Papua New Guinea

If you're not a PNG citizen, you'll only be allowed to enter if you're fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and hold a valid PNG visa. From 18 April, if arriving by air, you’ll be required to undertake a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) on arrival in PNG (fees may apply). There is no pre-departure testing requirement if arriving by sea. If you test positive when you arrive in PNG you may be required to quarantine. You may be able to apply for a medical exemption if you’ve recently recovered from COVID-19 and have a medical certificate from your doctor. There is widespread community transmission of COVID-19 in PNG. COVID-19 is a serious health risk and is impacting the capacity of local health services. Follow the advice of local authorities and minimise your risk of infection.

We advise:

Reconsider your need to travel to Papua New Guinea overall due to the impacts of COVID-19.

Other levels apply in some areas.
