ENTRY PERMIT FOR PAPUA NEW GUINEA

Each traveller will need to complete one Entry Permit for Papua New Guinea applications. Please attach one current passport size photographs to the form. All sections of the forms are to be completed. If you do not hold a Hungarian passport, you will also need to provide evidence of your residence status in Hungary. Visas will not be issued in passports which do not have at least six months validity remaining from the date of your departure from Papua New Guinea.

Important Notice: The Papua New Guinea Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade advises that as from 23 February 1999, private or official visitors into Bougainville in future must transit through Port Moresby to Bougainville, rather than travelling directly to Bougainville.

Visas are not issued the same day. If you are lodging your application in person at the Embassy, the visa could take a minimum of seven (10) working days before issue. It will be necessary therefore to allow sufficient time before your travel to ensure you receive the visa in time. In other words, visas will not be issued by the Embassy until the appropriate clearance is gained from the PNG authorities.

Lodgement: Applicants may either lodge the fully completed form together with his/her passport in person at the Fourth Floor of the Australian Embassy during the hours shown below. When lodging, applicants will need to make arrangements either to return to the Embassy in person to collect the passport containing the visa, or advise for the passport to be returned by registered mail. The Embassy does not accept any responsibility for the loss of your passport in the mail.
