Bit of advice?

Guys I have a few questions and hope you can help...

1) Whats the visa situation in PNG? I'm a 24 year old Irish guy and am wondering is somewhere like PNG a realistic option before I even start looking?

2) I would do bloody anything to get on a twin otter but as far I know you need a TR under EASA so wondering whats the story with that? I used to fly the Caravan in Belize under an ICAO license so I know that different places means different rules!

3) I currently fly skydivers on an Airvan back home, great job, but the weather in Ireland is brutal and I need some sunshine! Our season ends the end of October, and if i go back to my roots (working in a bar for the Winter) I can build up enough cash for a trip to PNG in January or Feb (or earlier if the hiring season was earlier, I have the cash to go now but would prefer to plan it properly and know where to apply)

3) So for an Irish guy with around 800TT, 500PIC and 185 as an FO on the Caravan (yes I know these wont count towards my ATPL, but I'm not looking for one right now!! )

Any advice would be appreciated
