Papua New Guinea visa for Japanese citizens

As a Japanese passport holder, you'll be pleased to know that Papua New Guinea offers a convenient visa-on-arrival service, allowing for a stay of up to 60 days; while only a business visa is generally available for pre-arrangement, this on-arrival option simplifies your travel plans considerably. When planning your journey, consider that flights often connect through major hubs like Brisbane or Cairns, Australia, and be mindful of the significant time zone difference, with Papua New Guinea being 1 hour ahead of Japan Standard Time. Remember to also factor in the exchange rate between the Japanese Yen and the Papua New Guinean Kina when budgeting for your trip.
