NOTICE TO ALL VALUED ONLINE APPLICANTS REGARDING CURRENT EVISA INTERNET PAYMENT GATEWAY TRANSITION

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF MIGRATION OFFICER

PNG Immigration and Citizenship Authority is currently undertaking a transition from an overseas Internet Payment Gateway to a PNG IPG via ICA's authorized Banking and IPG Service Partners/Providers with the current existing Border Management System Provider/Partner.

The technical team have been working closely together over the last few days testing the proposed transition plan to minimize downtime and maintain business continuity but have identified technical complexities that will require extended days to address and therefore there will be 'EVISA ONLINE APPLICATION' outages experienced during and after the 15th December 2022 until Tuesday 20th December 2022.

All valued eVisa online applicants are advised to closel look out for notices on ICA's website: www.ica.gov.pg for latest Transition progressive updates.

You may also have to visit the nearest overseas missions for further assistances in regrads to Visa lodgement/etc.

ICA sincerely apologizes for any inconveniences caused during this transition.

We therefore seek your understanding and patience duringthis transaction.
