Sunset Lodge: Port Moresby's Bar, Beach and Breeze Getaway

I was going to write about Sunset Lodge for a long time and now find time to post about this Port Moresby's day trip. For first-timers, the lodge is a nice place to get away from the city, about an hour's drive towards the PNG LNG plant and Papa and Lealea villages. The road is fairly flat with potholes to avoid, any small car can make it there and back.

Facilities

The amenities there are fairly basic. A bar selling can drinks and alcohol, barbecue area, toilets, car park and sitting area. The sitting area overlooks the beautiful Papa sandy beach and sea. If you are lucky, you'll see the massive oil tankers at the LNG plant/terminal refilling LNG for export to the Asian markets.

Beach

The beach is nicer than any I've seen near POM. Lovely sea breeze too. My top tip is to camp near the beach or get a bbq area. Kids are going to have fun this way. At low tide, the sea goes further out. You can walk right into the sea and play on the sandbanks. Always have someone to look after you personal & valuable items when you are away from your camp as there are locals using the beach as access way between the nearby villages.

Pay

As usual, go prepared with food, sunscreen, hats, water and any day's necessities to make your trip a good one. Sunset Lodge does not do food or provide lodging, they only do drinks. There is a K10 per head standard charge for visitors, both young and old.

Personally, I think after the Loloata Island Resort (the resort re-opened its doors to visitors in 2019), the Sunset Lodge has got a nicer beach for families or friends wanting a day's visit to the beach or get away from the city's heat.

Papua New Guinea Coffee

ECOM International coffee competition ranks PNG high

ECOM is an organisation promoting small coffee growers around the World. The ECOM competition is not only a ranking venture, but also a recognition adventure. The statement below is what the World Finance Corporation (WFC) said about the ECOM vision.

"IFC has worked with ECOM Coffee Group, a global leader in the coffee trade, to help small coffee farmers meet international certification standards, improve sustainability and productivity of crops, and increase their earnings."

Sihereni coffee estate

The the Sihereni coffee estate, owned and operated by David Orimarie in the Kwonghi area of Upper Asaro Local Level Government in Daulo District of Eastern Highlands Province was ranked in the top 5!

This is not about the owner, nor is it about Eastern Highlands Province (I am not from the E.H.P to say this). It is about Papua New Guinea Coffee!

Papua New Guinea Coffee is one of the best in the World

Imagine exposing the Simbu Coffee, or Hagen Coffee, or Wabag Coffee, or Morobe Coffee or Kerema Coffee to market in Europe, the Americas or central Asia? The market out there is going to go 'wild' about the TASTE of the coffee produced in those areas.

If you are from a coffee growing area, you may leave a comment below (or tweet PNG Insight). Tell me if PNG Coffee has gotten its fair share of the World's coffee market.

Renew PNG Passport: What To Do and Documents Needed Attaching

Many statutory bodies, including the PNG Immigration and Citizenship Services Authority (ICSA), demand the need to show the National Identification (NID) card or the new Birth Certificate. There is, however, a real difficulty getting the card or the certificate to produce as evidence of citizenship at present. The delay can frustrate attempts to obtain a new passport too.

I read the information on the ICSA website regarding passport applications. And, at first, found it confusing especially *renewing* my passport. I assumed that since certain requirements changed, my *old* birth certificate was now invalid. I would have to go through the whole process of getting a new birth certificate or NID card. Fortunately, this was not the case.

In fact, it was easy and straightforward because I had already got my passport to present as evidence of citizenship. So, I thought I should share my experience to help others wanting to *renew* their passports.

As implied earlier, while fearing my application was likely to have the wrong attachments (and hence renewal delayed), I made several trips to the ICSA office at Waigani, Port Moresby, to get some answers.

Hong Kong Central - PNG passport holders get Visa On Arrival

Q1. When to submit passport for renewal/extension of the expiry date

Submit the application 6 months before the due date. For example, for a passport that expires on the 6th of December 2023, the holder should submit their application after the 6th of June 2023.

This is important because those wanting to travel out of the country will have to have at least 6 months validity in their passports (same as travelling into the country).

Q2. What to do to renew an adult passport

Passport - You do not need a National Identification card or birth certificate. Your evidence of citizenship is the existing passport. (If you are applying for a *new* passport, you are required to produce the NID card.)
Passport photos - two passport photos must be signed and stamped by *a* legal/authorised person.
Section 13 of the passport application form must be signed and stamped by *the* legal/authorised person.
Write a brief but convincing statement about why your application should be considered favourably.
Include the travel details (Section 10) if you have dates and flights booked/planned travel in advance.
Processing Fee - pay (see processing fees below) at the Vulupindi Haus and attach the receipt.

Q3. What to do to renew a child passport

Passport - same as above
Passport photos - same as above
Section 13 of the passport application form - same as above
Write a brief but convincing statement about why your application should be considered favourably.
Include the travel details (Section 10) if you have dates and flights booked/planned travel.
Processing Fee - same as above

Additional documents

Birth Certificate - attach the child's birth certificate whether your child is born overseas or in PNG.
Parents' Passport bio page - attach a copy of both mother's and father's (or legal guardian's) passport bio page.
Section 9 (parents/legal guardians' consent) is completed as required

For the applicants wanting to get a new passport, please refer to the Immigration and Citizenship Services Authority website.

Top tip. Make sure you have followed all the instructions on PAGE 1 of the passport application form. If you are still in doubt, take your application to the ICSA office. Cross-check with the staff at the office. Finalise your application properly before submitting it.

PNG Passport Processing Fee

The normal processing fee is K100. It takes 15 working days (3 weeks) to process the application.

You can pay K300 to fast-track your application. It only takes 2 days to process the application if you pay K200 more.

Dealing with passport agents

Many Papua New Guineans and foreigners use passport agents in Port Moresby to process their passports and visas. Passport agents are everyday people who are front up at the immigration office at Waigani all day, only some are real businesses.

So, be careful when you deal with them.

If you are in Port Moresby (or travelling in) this information should be sufficient to get your passport ready and pick it up.

Best of all, it can be challenging to do it the first time. But, if you do it yourself, you'll find it easy to do it again.
