Flights between Samoa and American Samoa are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This was announced by American Samoa’s Lieutenant Governor Talauega Eleasalo Ale.
He said current requirements include that the traveler must first obtain an entry permit and OK board from the local Attorney General’s Office before travel registration on ASG’s TalofaPass websystem.
These needed documents are then uploaded when the traveler starts the registration process on TalofaPass.
In the meantime, the American Samoa Government announced guidelines for travelers from Samoa to enter the US Territory.
They must have all their reservations booked directly with Samoa Airways, as the Governor’s Office no longer maintains control of the flight manifest.
Samoa News reports that all travelers must register on the ASG’s TalofaPass web system and upload their travel documents 5-days prior to departure, whereas a vaccination card issued by the Samoa Ministry of Health is required.
Travelers are advised to ensure that names and dates of birth match travel documents. Travelers 5 years and older must be fully vaccinated — which means 14 days or more have passed after the second dose.
On COVID tests, a negative PCR test is required 72 hours prior to departure and must be uploaded on TalofaPass, and must be an official laboratory report with the Ministry of Health stamp.
Upon arrival in Pago Pago, a COVID test is conducted, and those testing positive are placed in 5-days supervised isolation at a DoH facility followed by 5 days of home isolation.
If the test is negative, the traveler is directed to go home for self-monitoring and check-in for 5 days on the TalofaPass web system.
