Samoa: bra att veta före resan

Det viktigaste

  • Samoa and American Samoa have separate immigration systems; check both if visiting both.

Inresa och visum

Samoa Immigration and its high commission describe a 90-day visitor permit available on arrival, subject to onward travel, permission for the next destination, funds and confirmed accommodation. The high commission specifies an exception for US nationals of American Samoa; contact Immigration for that case. Follow the permit actually issued.

Passets giltighet: Immigration requires six months beyond the intended stay.
