How to go

VISA AND OTHER PROCEDURES

All you need is a passport valid for another six months and a valid return ticket to your original destination or to another destination. Upon arrival, visitors are granted a 60-day visa.

HEALTH CARE

The authorities require a certificate of yellow fever vaccination to all visitors over one year of age who come from a transmission risk destination in the country or who have transited for more than 12 hours at airports in these countries. 

There is no risk of malaria transmission but protect yourself as much as possible from mosquito bites to avoid getting Dengue fever.

For more information on traveling health, see the Health Portal of the Ministry of Health and Tropical and Traveler Medicine Clinic. In FitForTravel find country-specific health and disease prevention advice (in English).

TRIP TO WESTERN SAMOA

A Star Alliance fly from Lisbon to Apia with TAP (tel.: 707 205 700), the Thai Airways and Air New Zealand, via London, Bangkok and Auckland. This journey to the other side of the world is guaranteed to have very high costs. Count on an absolute minimum of €1.500 but you're unlikely to make it to Samoa for so little.
