PNG WILL OPEN TO TOURISTS FROM 16 FEBRUARY 2022.

This evening we have been advised that we will be going back to PNG for Anzac Day, just in time to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the bloody battles fought in Papua during the dark days of 1942.

The update we have so far is as follows:

For international travelers:

1. Tourists may now travel to PNG.

2. Pandemic Approvals are no longer required to enter PNG.

3. All persons must be fully vaccinated to travel to PNG, unless they are under 18 years of age or are a citizen of Papua New Guinea. A person is considered fully vaccinated if they have had the recommended number of doses for the vaccine as listed in Schedule 2, within the past 6 months; or they have had the recommended number of doses for the vaccine, as listed in Schedule 2 and they have had a booster vaccine.

4. All persons travelling to PNG must have a valid COVID-19 test within 72 hours prior to their original port of departure. Children aged 5 years and under are exempted from being tested.

5. All people arriving into PNG will be tested for COVID-19 upon arrival.

6. If a person has within the last three months tested positive for COVID-19, a medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner from their country of departure, certifying that the person is no longer infectious for COVID-19 shall be accepted but the individual must still be tested prior to leaving their port of departure within 72 hours and be tested on arrival.

7. There shall be no quarantine for any person, except for persons who test positive on arrival who shall be quarantined for 7 days.

8. It is the responsibility of travel operators to make sure that a person has the necessary documents to board an aircraft/vessel to travel to PNG.

We will provide updates as they come to hand. In the meantime if you are booked on any of our Anzac Treks emails will be sent out shortly along with our newsletter.
