How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeETA

    American Samoa: Qatar U.S.-visa-waiver 30-day visitor permit

    The current American Samoa Government waiver-country list names Qatar, and its current visitor portal requires a pre-travel, emailed 30-day permit for U.S.-visa-waiver-country travelers.

    • The traveler must apply before arrival, receive the emailed permit, and present it to Immigration; the pre-travel electronic approval is normalized as ETA rather than visa-free.
    • The current route is limited to a 30-day visitor permit and remains subject to passport validity, fee, purpose, admissibility, entry and other territorial conditions.
    • Work, residence, credit study, transit, diplomatic/official, special-document, U.S.-visa-holder and individual-admission routes are excluded.
  2. Current official routeETA

    American Samoa: named current waiver-country online 30-day permit

    The current American Samoa Government list names this 46-code ordinary-passport cohort, including Qatar. Its current U.S. Visa/Waiver visitor service requires online application and an emailed permit before arrival; that mandatory electronic pre-travel authorization is normalized as eta.

    • Apply and obtain the emailed American Samoa visitor permit before travel; the portal states applications must be submitted online within three business days before travel.
    • The route is limited to a 30-day visitor permit, requires a qualifying passport/document, return ticket within 30 days, lodging/local-contact evidence, fee and admissibility. It is not a visa-free entry.
    • The program’s precise statutory EPWP label and country-list update mechanism, work, residence, credit study, transit, crew/commercial-vessel, diplomatic, official, special-document, third-country-document and final-admission treatment are outside this ordinary visitor mapping.
