Australians now need a tourist visa before arriving in PNG. No
charge. I think this started about February. I sent my passport and
the form to the High Commission in Canberra. 3+ weeks later I tried
emailing and phoning them. No answer, but they finally answered on
the phone on the third day I tried and thankfully they found my
application very easily in their in tray and said they would process
my visa that day (last Monday 4 weeks after I sent it). Thankfully I
got it back three days before I am due to leave.
This email is simply to warn others. You might be better off sending
the application to the Brisbane or Sydney office, or obviously take
it in person if you live there. Otherwise don't wait to the three
week mark that they said would be the longest time to process.
Now to see the birds...
