What counts as a correction?

Report factual issues, not just wording preferences

A correction report is most useful when a statement can be checked against a reliable source. Typical examples include a changed visa eligibility list, a new immigration notice, an incorrect fee, an outdated stay period, a changed document requirement, or a border process that has been replaced.

You can also report internal inconsistencies—for example, if two VisaPNG pages give different answers for the same passport and travel purpose.

Structured correction report

Prepare the information our editorial review needs

Use the exact page where the questionable statement appears.
Primary government, official embassy, legislation, Customs or direct airline operational sources are preferred.

This page prepares a structured report. Connect the form to your preferred helpdesk, email endpoint or backend before publishing if you want direct server-side submission.

Editorial method

How a strong correction should be reviewed

1

Reproduce the issue

Open the reported VisaPNG page and confirm the exact wording still appears.

2

Check the primary source

Prefer the current ICA, Customs, government or direct operational source over third-party summaries.

3

Check dates and scope

Confirm whether the source applies to the same nationality, passport type, visa class and travel purpose.

4

Check related pages

Search for the same outdated claim across nationality guides, FAQs, schemas and reusable components.

5

Update carefully

Correct the factual statement without creating contradictions, duplicate pages or unsupported policy claims.

6

Re-verify after publishing

Check the rendered page, JSON-LD, internal links and any automated visa-checker output affected by the change.

Preferred verification sources

Use the most authoritative source available

Immigration

ICA / ICSA

Best for visa classes, Visa on Arrival, entry permits, PNGDAC, sponsor processes and immigration public notices.

Open ICA: https://ica.gov.pg/

Border goods

PNG Customs Service

Best for traveller concessions, prohibited and restricted goods, currency reporting and Customs clearance.

Open PNG Customs: https://customs.gov.pg/

Operations

Airline notices

Use direct airline or ground-handling notices for boarding, baggage and operational requirements—not generic travel blogs.

Current baseline example

Visa on Arrival should be checked against the live ICA list

ICA's current Visa on Arrival page lists countries and territories including Canada, Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Solomon Islands, the United Kingdom and Vanuatu, with passport-type limitations for some countries.

It also explicitly states that mainland New Zealand, mainland France and the United States of America are not eligible for Visa on Arrival.

Because passport categories and country lists can change, VisaPNG should link to and periodically recheck the live ICA page instead of treating a fixed “28-country” paragraph as permanent policy.

Current PNGDAC baseline

The August 2026 boarding directive takes priority for pre-flight advice

On 6 August 2026, ICSA instructed international airlines, ground handling agents and check-in personnel that all persons travelling to PNG must complete the PNGDAC before a boarding pass is issued.

An older PNGDAC page still mentions self-service kiosks on arrival at Jacksons International Airport. For editorial purposes, the later airline-directed notice is the stronger source for current pre-departure compliance.

What not to promise

Keep the correction process credible

No guaranteed 24–48 hour SLA

Do not promise a review time unless VisaPNG actually operates a staffed workflow that can meet it consistently.

No “instant global deployment” claim

Corrections can affect multiple pages, structured data, checkers and cached assets. A careful update is more credible than claiming every change propagates instantly.

No automatic acceptance

A submitted source can itself be old, misread or outside the relevant visa class. Verification must come before publication.

Corrections FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What should I include in a correction report?

Include the affected VisaPNG URL, the exact current statement, the proposed correction, an official source URL, the date checked, and any nationality or visa class affected.

Can I use a blog or forum as evidence?

You can include it as a lead, but policy corrections should normally be verified against a primary government, embassy, Customs, legislation or direct airline source before publication.

What if two official pages disagree?

Check publication dates, scope and whether one is a later public notice. Record the conflict instead of silently choosing the answer that fits the existing page.

Will VisaPNG automatically publish my proposed wording?

No. The underlying fact should be verified first, and the final wording may be rewritten for clarity, context and consistency with related pages.

Should old incorrect statements be deleted everywhere?

Search related pages, FAQs, structured data and automated outputs. Correct the claim wherever it appears, while preserving legitimate historical context where dates matter.

Editorial independence

Corrections are checked against primary evidence

VisaPNG is an independent visa and travel-information service. It is not the Papua New Guinea Immigration and Citizenship Services Authority, PNG Customs Service, an embassy or an airline. Official government and border decisions always take precedence over VisaPNG content.
