⚠️ Important Notes
Pakistani passport holders must apply for the eVisa well in advance of travel, ideally at least 2 weeks before departure, to account for any processing delays. The Digital Arrival Card is a separate mandatory step and must be completed before boarding. Papua New Guinea has limited diplomatic presence in Pakistan, so all visa matters must be handled online. Travelers should be aware of health advisories including malaria risk and are strongly advised to obtain appropriate vaccinations and carry anti-malarial medication. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
