  • Citizens must present a passport valid for at least six months beyond their intended period of stay.

Visa types

  • Visa-free entry for up to 31 days for tourism and business.
  • For stays exceeding 31 days, or for purposes other than tourism or business (e.g., work, study, residency), a visa must be obtained in advance from a Samoan Embassy or Consulate abroad. Information on these specific visa types and their requirements is not readily available on the official Samoa government portal for short-term visa-free travelers and would require direct inquiry with Samoan immigration authorities or diplomatic missions.

Entry conditions

  • Upon arrival at any port of entry in Samoa (e.g., Faleolo International Airport), immigration officers will assess your eligibility for visa-free entry.
  • Present your valid passport (minimum 6 months validity).
  • Provide your onward or return ticket details.
  • Be prepared to show proof of sufficient funds for your stay if requested (though specific amounts are not published for visa-free entry, it's advisable to have readily accessible funds or evidence of accommodation bookings).
  • There are no specific application forms to fill out beforehand for visa-free entry; all necessary documentation is handled by immigration officials upon arrival.
  • Extensions beyond the initial 31 days are possible but require application and approval from the Samoan Immigration Office before the initial 31-day period expires. Such extensions are typically granted for compelling reasons and may incur fees. Details for extensions are available from the Samoan Immigration office.

Fees & processing time

Tips for Antigua and Barbuda travelers

  • Since entry is visa-free, there is no advance application process. However, it is crucial to ensure all entry requirements are met before departure.
  • Common rejection reasons for visa-free entry globally include insufficient passport validity, lack of onward/return tickets, inability to demonstrate sufficient funds, or a history of immigration violations. While no specific rejections are noted for Antigua and Barbuda citizens to Samoa, these general points apply.
  • There are no VFS/BLS centers for visa-free entry. All processing is done directly by Samoan immigration officials at the port of entry.
  • Travelers should check for any current travel advisories issued by their home country regarding Samoa. While bilateral relations between Antigua and Barbuda and Samoa are generally positive, it's always wise to be informed.
  • Extension options for the 31-day visa-free stay are generally limited and require a formal application to the Samoan Immigration Office prior to the expiry of the initial 31 days. It is advisable to contact the Samoan Immigration Office for specific procedures and requirements for extensions.
