Port Moresby - Post Report Question and Answers
What types of jobs do most expatriate spouses/partners have? Locally based or telecommuting? Full-time or part-time? Can you comment on local salary scales?
Not much available unless you are a qualified teacher or development professional. Although some spouses, after living in PIM for several years, got business-type jobs (HR manager and so on). - May 2019
There are a few positions available. As the post gets bigger, it will become a problem, because there is not much to do here for spouses. Telecommuting is difficult due to unreliable and slow internet. - Jun 2016
No. But if you have certain skills, there are international contracts to be had. A dependent can get a job, exit and re-enter with a new visa, but the search and visa process can take 6 to 9 months. Visa terms are adhered to. - Jun 2008
