American Samoa: Samoa ordinary passports, 10-day visitor permit
The current territorial code and official portal create a Samoa-passport Entry Permit Waiver Program route requiring a pre-travel visitor permit.
- The specific Samoa route is limited to 10 days, has a $10 fee and a monthly maximum of 400 citizens. The candidate concerns ordinary passports, not the alternative identity-document route.
- The official portal requires online application/payment. The EPWP requires pre-travel documents and OK-to-Board authorization; work, residence, transit, special documents and final admission are excluded.
Official application route
How to apply
- Apply and pay online before travel.
- Obtain the territorial authorization required for the EPWP route.
- Present required documents to Immigration when seeking entry.
