What you need

  • Nepali ordinary passport valid for at least six months after the intended date of departure from Samoa

  • Return or onward ticket
  • Visa or permit for the next country if required
  • Confirmed residential contact address in Samoa
  • Evidence of sufficient funds if requested

Why this verdict

Nepali citizens are encoded from Samoa Immigration's official visitor-permit-on-arrival source set. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short visitor travel only. Work, business activity, study, research, residence, extensions, health/character issues, airline handling, onward-entry documents and Samoa Immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Samoa Immigration source before booking. Samoa says ordinary visitors can receive a free 90-day Visitor Permit on arrival using the arrival card, provided they meet passport-validity, onward-ticket, next-destination, address, funds, health and character requirements.

Conditional rules

  • Extension beyond the first 90-day visitor permit Conditional

    Samoa Immigration says visitors already in Samoa who wish to apply for a further period of stay as a visitor should use the temporary residence form.

  • Work or employment in Samoa Visa required

    Samoa Immigration states work is not permitted on a Visitor's Permit and that employment requires the appropriate temporary resident / employment authorization.

  • Business activity, investment, study, academic research, cultural/religious purpose, family support or reunion Visa required

    Samoa Immigration lists separate Temporary Resident Permit purposes for business/investment, employment, study, academic research, cultural/religious purposes and family support/reunion.

  • Health, character, deportation history or missing onward-entry documents Conditional

    Samoa's visitor permit is subject to entry requirements including no deportation record from other countries, no health problems posing a risk, sufficient funds, a Samoa address and onward-entry documents where required.
