Regular entry requirements (Visa, Passport validity, etc)

Samoa's government establishes and enforces entry regulations. Contact the embassy, high commission, or consulate of the country or territory you are visiting for more information. Check with your transportation provider or travel business to ensure that your passport and other travel documents fulfill their criteria.

For stays of up to 60 days, visas are not required. As a visitor, you must have a round-trip ticket and, if necessary, a valid visa for the next nation you will visit. You must apply for an extension of stay at the local Immigration Office. For stays of more than 60 days, a visa is required. Visa applications can be made at Samoa's abroad missions in Brussels, Wellington, Auckland, Canberra, or New York, or at the Prime Minister's Department's Immigration Office (PO Box L1861, Apia, Samoa). From the date of entry into Samoa, your passport must be valid for at least six months. A departure tax of $ST 40 is required of all tourists (even minors over the age of 11).
