The visit nearly fell through after the NRL initially valued Hudson Young at $1.1 million, matching the amount Canberra was prepared to pay.
The valuation was reduced to $1 million, then reassessed after the Raiders pulled their deal.
Young arrived in Port Moresby on Wednesday as the Chiefs pursue him as signing #008.
The New South Wales State of Origin forward is recovering from a season-ending Achilles injury.
Chiefs coach Willie Peters, chief executive Lorna McPherson and football general manager Michael Chammas greeted him.
Young made the trip with his manager, Sam Ayoub, signalling they are ready to engage with the club.
The pursuit is part of the Chiefs' aggressive recruitment campaign.
