Where to apply: Austria has no mission in Papua New Guinea

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
Australia 2,370 km
Applications accepted in: Canberra
2
Philippines 3,250 km
Applications accepted in: Manila
3
Indonesia 3,388 km
Applications accepted in: Jakarta

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.
