How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeVisa-free

    U.S. passport holder: American Samoa, Guam and CNMI domestic/citizenship treatment

    A U.S. citizen or national travelling on a U.S. ordinary passport does not use a foreign visitor visa, ESTA, G-CNMI ETA or territorial visitor-permit route. The project has no separate U.S.-citizenship status for AS, GU and MP, so this no-visa treatment is normalized as visa_free.

    • For American Samoa, this covers the official U.S. citizen/national document route: a valid U.S. passport or equivalent specified citizenship/identity documents, confirmed return or onward travel, and the entry page's proof-of-employment or official-assignment requirement. Travellers meeting the valid-document route do not need an OK Board; its waiver process covers lost, expired or substitute documents.
    • For Guam and CNMI, federal documentary rules regulate nonimmigrant aliens. This is not a foreign visitor category, does not establish entry for a dual national travelling on another passport, and does not cover residence, work, parole, military, transit, diplomatic, special-document or final-admission cases.

  2. Current official routeVisa-free

    U.S. ordinary passports: no foreign-visitor visa for the U.S. territories

    A U.S. citizen or national is not an alien for federal immigration law; American Samoa also gives U.S. citizens a document route rather than a foreign visitor permit.

    • This is normalized as visa_free because the destinations are territorial codes, not the sovereign United States. American Samoa’s current page specifies documentary requirements for non-resident U.S. citizens.
    • Residence, identity-document alternatives, military orders, emergency waivers, inspection and final admission are not normalized.
