Welcome to the forum

For living costs 聽 also read other posts here for information. The salary offered seems low to me.聽 The average monthly salary in PNG is 13,000 Kina.

Hi Stumpy,

From where you got this figure 13,000Kina for Port Moresby?聽

Number says average salary required K2300 approximately.

@Shweta: Are you coming here alone as a bachelor ? What's your designation? How much do you want to take home after your expenses here?

Regards
KSB

Hi DrShweta,

The cost of living here in PNG it depends on the lifestyle of a person moving here in PNG. If you are a type of person who always stays at home and don't want going out, that salary offer will save you a lot. especially you said that you have a 5000Kina incentive per month. The employer will provide you with accommodation and vehicle
