Information on this website
We work to keep the information on this website accurate and up to date. However, requirements, fees and processing times can change, and the website may not yet show the latest change.
Before you apply, travel or pay a fee, please check with the Immigration Division. The relevant law, and official decisions made under it, take priority over anything on this website.
Information on this website is general guidance, not legal advice. It doesn't replace the law or a decision by an immigration officer, and it doesn't guarantee that an application will be approved.

This website is published in English and Gagana Sāmoa. If the two versions differ, the English version applies.

You may download, print and copy the forms on this website to apply for our services. Use the latest version from this website; we may not accept older versions of a form.
Copyright
The content of this website, including text, images, the layout and the forms, belongs to the Government of Samoa unless stated otherwise.
You may copy and share information from this site for personal, non-commercial use, or to help someone with an application, as long as you don't change its meaning and you say it came from immigration.gov.ws.

Links to other websites
Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We don't control those websites and aren't responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. A link doesn't mean we endorse the site.
