Check your passport validity before travelling to Samoa

22 September, 2026

Before you travel, check the expiry date on your passport. To get a Visitor Permit on arrival, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the date you plan to leave Samoa.

You also need:

  • a return or onward ticket
  • a valid visa or permit for the country you’re travelling to next
  • details of where you’ll be staying
  • evidence of enough money to support yourself, usually a copy of a bank statement
