Working in PNG

hi, as per our employer we will flying manila to jayapura, indonesia and then land travel to vanimo. do we still have to secure Visa on this arrangment. Thanks.

I can only really speak of Lae, but we have quite a large Filipino community here!

i'm planning to work in png..is it really a high risk country?

It really depends on the location and type of accommodation/transportation/etc your employer will offer.

I'm a Filipino and my next assignment will be in PNG, will work on a palm oil plantation. I'm not so sure yet where in PNG is our job site. How  does the coverage of communications going there  in terms of mobiles & internet?

TIA

Hi pinoyxpat. Im currently working here in POM. MObile internet and communication is ok. but the cost is really expensive. Internet here is paid per MB used. Network coverage around POM is ok, but sometimes their Internet is so slow.

@arj.. we will be soon joining you there in POM, but will be based in a remote area... how's the weather nowadays?

Hi pinoyxpat,

weather is always sunny. they say december - february is their rainy season.
