Rules

PNG Customs rules for arriving yachts

48 hours notice

48 h

The master of a super yacht must give notice no later than 48 hours before reaching PNG. The notice goes by email to NCC@customs.gov.pg and lists the yacht, its last four ports, and everyone on board.

On arrival

Fly the yellow Q-flag and sail directly to an appointed boarding station at a designated Customs port. Everyone stays on board until Customs, Quarantine and Immigration grant clearance.

Stay and import

A cruise permit can run for the length of the master's visa. Temporary importation covers up to 12 months and needs a letter of guarantee from a local agent. The Customs page does not name a port. Check the rules for your passport.
