Samoa will welcome international travellers from 1st August 2022 and in preparation for the reopening, a series of developments and new processes have been put in place to ensure Samoa is travel ready, and that the health and safety of the local community and international travellers is of utmost priority.
Samoa's robust preparations include its own digital contact tracing app, training and upskilling for local employees, upgraded travel instructions and bolstered testing capabilities.
Samoa’s entry conditions have been eased to-date and in the lead-up to reopening, the Ministry of Health has indicated that requirements will be relaxed further, giving confidence and inspiring travellers.
