No! This is the single biggest advantage of our eSIM. Due to PNG's strict laws, buying a physical local SIM card at Port Moresby (POM) Airport requires a mandatory, slow, and complicated passport and ID registration process. EastESIM eSIMs are roaming-based, which means you are exempt from all this bureaucracy. You can buy online, install instantly, and skip the registration queues.
