Planning Trip to
Papua New Guinea?
When traveling to Papua New Guinea, there are several things you should keep in mind to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Here are a few tips that might help:
01
Visa & Documents
Australian passport holders can obtain a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival in Papua New Guinea. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay.
02
Currency Exchange
It’s always helpful to carry some Papua New Guinean Kina (PGK). Use RedRate, which has locations across Australia, to get the best AUD→PGK exchange rates before you leave.
03
TIPPING
Tipping is not customary in Papua New Guinea. However, leaving a small tip of 5–10% in restaurants for exceptional service is appreciated.
04
Transport
In cities, public transport—such as privately operated Public Motor Vehicles (PMVs), mostly minivans—is available. For intercity travel, domestic flights and long-distance buses are common options.
05
Stay Connected
Get a local SIM card from providers like Digicel or Telikom PNG at the airport or retail stores for affordable data and nationwide coverage.
The Papua New Guinean Kina (symbol: K; currency code: PGK) is the official currency of Papua New Guinea, issued and regulated by the Bank of Papua New Guinea. It is subdivided into 100 toea. Coins in circulation include 5t, 10t, 20t, 50t, K1, and K2; banknotes are issued in denominations of K2, K5, K10, K20, K50, and K100. Introduced in 1975, the kina replaced the Australian dollar at par, reflecting Papua New Guinea's independence. Today, travelers often monitor the AUD→PGK rate when planning visits to places like Port Moresby, Lae, or the Highlands—and balance cash and digital payments for local experiences.
