Guide last updated October 20, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • Confirmed return or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host address)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay
  • Completed arrival/visitor card, provided on the flight or at the airport
  • Travel health insurance recommended
  • No advance photos or biometrics required for the on-arrival visa

Visa types

  • Visitor visa on arrival: single entry, up to 60 days, for tourism and family visits
  • Business visa on arrival: single entry, up to 60 days, requires a local business contact letter
  • Work/resident permit: separate pre-approved application through the Samoa Ministry of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, required before travel for any employment

Visa on arrival

  • Available only at Faleolo International Airport immigration counters
  • Present passport, return ticket, and completed arrival card to the immigration officer
  • A 60-day visitor visa is stamped directly into the passport at no cost for most short stays
  • Processing at the counter typically takes 10-20 minutes
  • Officers may ask for proof of funds or accommodation if the purpose of visit is unclear

Fees & processing time

  • Visa on arrival: no fee for the standard 60-day visitor stamp
  • Extension beyond 60 days: WST 50-100 (about USD 18-37) per extension, filed at the Samoa Immigration Division in Apia
  • No service-center or agency fee since the visa is issued directly at the airport
  • No expedited option is needed as there is no pre-arrival processing step

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Confirm your airline accepts Pakistani passports without a pre-approved visa, since some carriers request extra documentation before boarding
  • Keep your arrival card and immigration stamp details, as they are needed for any extension request
  • Extensions require visiting the Immigration Division in Apia in person before the 60 days expire
  • There is no Samoan diplomatic mission in Pakistan; pre-travel questions go through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Apia
  • Overstaying attracts fines and can affect future entry to Samoa
