Official Requirement
eTA required
for Papua New Guinea citizens travelling to United Kingdom
Many visitors to the United Kingdom who do not require a visa must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling. The ETA is linked to the holder passport and permits stays of up to 6 months for tourism, family visits, and certain other purposes. An ETA does not guarantee entry, which remains at the discretion of border officials.
