🇼🇸 Samoa · Permanent residence

Ordinary permanent residence permit

Samoa accepts permanent-residence applications, but the public service page does not prescribe one automatic conversion period for every temporary resident. The applicant must use the official form to prove long-term ties, residence, employment, business and family facts; the authority decides each case.
