What American Samoa may ask for

  • Passport valid 6+ months beyond intended stay
  • Confirmed return or onward ticket required
  • Proof of sufficient funds for duration of stay
  • Accommodation booking or host sponsor letter
  • Recent passport-sized photograph
  • Completed entry permit application form
