Living in Papua New Guinea
Hi folks,
Can anyone with information on living in PNG assist me? I would like to know if it is worth entertianing a job offer there. What is the standard salary for a Communications Engineer. Is it considered a high risk place and would you recommending moving the entire family there-4 kids under 11.
Many thanks,
Andrea

Will you be living in Port Moresby, Goroka, Lae? Have you lived overseas before?

How safe is PNG to live in? Especially when you are planning to live with your family

Re: Living in Papua New Guinea
Pascaline!
I live here in Port Moresby for more than 3 years.
Security is worsening, life is becoming more and more expensive, but there is movement here ...
You will certainly find something to do if you have the right connections with the international community... or if you want to do voluntary work.
However, Working Visa might be an issue. Some employers might help you get it, some not.
good luck !!!

Hi,
Thanks for the information. I have seen that you're Moroccan. Do you speak French?
What are you doing exactly as job? You work for an international organization. Which kind?
See you later

Re: Living in Papua New Guinea
I am looking to take up a contract in Port Moresby end of October.
I have had trouble getting email responses from real estate agents re accommodation. Are there other property agents that own apartment blocks that I should contact?
Any help on safe areas within the town would also be appreciated.
I will need to purchase a 2nd hand vehicle as well, but was thinking I could import my vehicle from NZ. Are vehicles readily available? any good sites to visit to look at them?
Cheers

I am going to have an interview for the post of Club Manager in Papua New Guinea. I am a Chinese. Is there any racism? How safe is the city?
