Kieta - Clearance
For full details on clearing into and out of PNG see PNG Formalities.
In the past, it was not possible to clear in at Kieta. Skippers had to travel by truck over the hill to Arawa township.
However, now Kieta has a customs/immigration officer called Jeffrey.

There is now a permanent Customs/Immigration Officer at the Customs shed in Kieta now, his name is Jeffrey, a very pleasant guy. There are no provisioning facilities in Kieta we traveled by police land rover to Arawa for a fee of 50 kina.
Provisioning in Arawa is very basic and still suffers from the riots with many buildings burned out or destroyed. The anchorage in Kieta is safe, sheltered and good holding at the west end of the bay.
