The American Samoa Entry Permit Waiver Program permits citizens of specific countries to visit American Samoa without needing an entry-permit or visa for a period of 30 days or less. See the list on the right of all the participating countries. If you hold a passport from these countries, then you are eligible to apply for a permit waiver. You must apply and receive authorization at least 3 business days prior to travel. Real time approvals will no longer be available and arriving at the airport without a previously approved OK Board will likely result in being denied boarding. 

 

Travelers entering American Samoa to board fishing vessels or other commercial vessels are not eligible for the EPWP. Cruise ship passengers are exempted; do NOT apply for an OK Board. Check below for requirements or click here to start the  application process
