How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeETA

    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.
