Visas and entry requirements: American Samoa
Prepare your journey to American Samoa using official sources.
American Samoa
Separate access permission may be required. A visa or permission for a neighbouring or administering country does not by itself establish permission to enter this territory; check with its competent authority.

Your next checks
- Write down the passport you will use and its type, your country of residence and your planned activities. Residence and interface language do not replace passport nationality.
- List arrival and departure dates, transit stops and entry points. Check each leg separately, including whether you pass immigration during transit.
- Open the official instructions for that profile. Record the required documents, submission window, fees and processing guidance; mark anything the source does not confirm as unresolved.
- If a condition is unclear, contact the competent authority with your passport country, residence, purpose and dates. Recheck before departure and after a passport or itinerary change.

Samoa américaines : demander le permis territorial adapté
Le Department of Legal Affairs propose plusieurs parcours de permis de visite. Le canal dépend du passeport, des documents américains détenus et, dans certains cas, d’un hôte local.
Selon le passeport : distinguer citoyens samoans nés au Samoa, voyageurs avec visa américain, carte verte ou profil visa-waiver, et autres étrangers ; vérifier votre catégorie dans le portail.
- Documents de voyage et billet aller-retour pour les parcours de permis de 30 jours documentés.
- Parrain local éligible pour la catégorie qui impose un dépôt en personne.
- Sélectionner la catégorie sur le portail territorial.
- Préparer le permis en ligne si autorisé, ou faire déposer le dossier par l’hôte auprès de l’immigration.
- Un visa américain, une carte verte ou une éligibilité au programme américain ne remplace pas à lui seul la démarche territoriale.
- Les citoyens et ressortissants américains ont un statut distinct : faire confirmer les documents requis pour ce profil.

Documents to consider
Eligibility depends on your passport and circumstances. The authorities decide whether documents are issued and entry is granted.
Check the official entry rules before travelling.
