I don't believe that will be legal, as no work/business is meant to be conducted under a tourist visa. They could apply for a business visa I think though. You should check with immigration. www . immigration . gov . pg

You can come in and work on a business visa whilst your work permit is being processed. I have done the same when working in PNG.

Be careful. The authorities are pretty strict on working on a tourist visa. You would have to leave and apply for a new working visa from outside the country...
