ENTRY FOR EMPLOYMENT

Papua New Guinea regulates entry of immigrants seeking employment in the country.

Under the Employment (Training and Regulations) Act 1971, which is administered by the Department of Labour and Employment, an immigrant cannot engage in any form of employment whether paid or unpaid, unless prior approval is given by the department of Labour and Employment to the prospective employer, upon written request.

An immigrant, who is employed or accepts employment without approval from the Department of Labour and Employment, becomes a prohibited immigrant and is liable for prosecution and deportation. Regular inspections are carried out by inspectors under the act in Papua New Guinea to ensure these requirements are observed.

WARNING:

Persons who do not observe the following requirements are liable to heavy penalties under Papua New Guinea Immigration Law.

1)Entry permit holders must ensure that they always have a valid permit and passport. Holders of expired or cancelled entry permits are prohibited immigrants and may be deported.

2)The Migration Act 1976 lays down penalties for persons who deliver or otherwise furnish for official purposes of the government, documents containing information or statements that are false or misleading.
