Order Papua New Guinea passport online? Easy steps to follow

So, I’ve finally gotten around to getting my Papua New Guinea passport sorted. It’s something I’ve been putting off, but with a trip coming up, it was time to bite the bullet. Here’s how it all went down.

First off, I had to get the application form. This is important, you can find a form for a Travel Document. I had to make sure I filled it out correctly – black ink, block letters, the whole nine yards. They’re pretty strict about this, so I double-checked everything before moving on. And, please read all the instructions carefully before you fill in the forms.

Gathering the necessary documents

Next up was gathering all the required documents. It seemed like I needed a mountain of paperwork. You know, the usual stuff like birth certificates, ID, and some passport-sized photos. Make sure you have everything ticked off their checklist because they won’t accept incomplete applications. I made sure to have it all organized because I’ve heard they don’t take kindly to incomplete submissions. I heard from my friend said that there’s an approved agent can help you with your application if you don’t want to do this by yourself, but you may need to pay the agent some money.

Where to apply

Since I’m based in Port Moresby, I had to lodge my application at the Immigration and Citizenship Authority (ICA) head office. It’s at the Central Government Office, so it wasn’t too hard to find. I’ve heard if you’re outside of Port Moresby, you might need to go through an agent or a different process, but I’m not too sure about that.

Waiting Game

After submitting my application and paying the fees, I have to waiting. It was a standard application, nothing too fancy. Now, it was just a waiting game. They say it takes a few weeks, but you know how these things go. Could be faster, could be slower.

Finally Got My Passport

And finally, after what felt like forever, I got the call to come to pick up my passport. I made sure to double-check all the details on the passport to ensure everything was correct. It felt good to have that little booklet in my hands. Now I’m all set for my trip. One less thing to worry about.

So yeah, that’s the story of how I got my Papua New Guinea passport. It was a bit of a process, but nothing too crazy. Just make sure you’ve got all your documents in order, and you’re prepared to wait a bit, and you’ll be golden. This is just how I did it, hope this helps.
