Documents
Always required
Valid passport with at least 6 months validity beyond the intended stay in Samoa.
Samoan immigration requires passports to be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay for issuance of a Visitor Permit on arrival. Passport must be undamaged and not reported lost or stolen.
Confirmed onward or return ticket from Samoa within the permitted stay period.
Ticket must show confirmed booking out of Samoa; open-dated or standby tickets may not be accepted. If continuing to a third country, travellers must also hold any required visa or permit for that destination.
Documented evidence of sufficient funds to support stay in Samoa (e.g., recent bank statement, credit card limit letter).
Samoan authorities commonly accept a recent bank statement as proof of funds for the 90-day Visitor Permit on arrival. Amount considered sufficient is not formally published and is assessed case by case.
Confirmed accommodation booking or host details in Samoa, including address and contact information.
Hotel or resort bookings should show traveller name, dates, and property contact details. If staying with family or friends, travellers should be able to state the village and family name and may be asked for a letter or contact phone number.
Completed Samoan arrival card used to apply for the Visitor Permit on arrival.
The arrival card functions as the application for the 90-day Visitor Permit on arrival and must be completed truthfully. Information typically includes personal details, travel purpose, address in Samoa, and health/customs declarations.
Recommended
Valid visa or entry permit for the next country of destination, if required.
Required only if the traveller’s onward itinerary includes a country where a visa or permit is needed before arrival. Electronic visas should be printed or saved offline for presentation at check-in and on arrival in Samoa.
Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
In Samoa, Sunday is a ‘hard reset’ day in many places: expect many businesses to be closed or operating very limited hours. The pro move is doing groceries, cash withdrawals, and logistics on Saturday so Sunday is stress-free.
2
Cultural etiquette pays off fast: dress modestly in villages, ask before taking photos, and follow house customs (like removing shoes). Tourists who do this tend to get noticeably warmer interactions and better local help.
