Current Travel Situation
Papua New Guinea to Japan: What You Need to Know
Japan requires visas for PNG passport holders. Japan and Papua New Guinea have diplomatic relations and some economic ties through resource industries. Despite this, standard visa requirements apply and applicants must demonstrate clear tourist intent.
How to Get There
If you hold another passport from a country with visa-free or easier access to Japan, consider using that. Japan has no visa-on-arrival option. Group tour packages through Japan Tourism Agency accredited agents can sometimes simplify the process.
Money & Banking
Japan uses the Japanese yen (JPY). Cash is important in Japan though cards are becoming more accepted. IC cards like Suica are useful for transport. ATMs at 7-Eleven and Japan Post accept international cards.
Practical Tips
Prepare a detailed day-by-day itinerary and hotel bookings. Financial proof covering the entire stay is important. Japan is generally very safe and welcoming to tourists. Download offline maps in advance as Japan uses some unique mapping apps.
