Documents you need for a Samoa permit application
The core supporting documents required across Samoa's temporary resident permit categories.
Important
Every temporary resident application requires the completed and signed MPMC100 form, two recent passport-sized photographs of each person included, and the category-specific supporting evidence — for example an employer sponsorship form for employment, an enrolment letter for study, or an Investment Certificate for business.
Applicants staying one year or more face additional health and character checks: a medical report (forms MPMC102 and MPMC103) for anyone over 16, and a police report for anyone over 18 from every country they have lived in for more than a year in the last five years.
Common supporting documents
- Completed and signed MPMC100 form
- Two recent passport-sized photos per person
- Evidence of funds (e.g. bank statement)
- Category evidence: sponsorship form, enrolment letter, Investment Certificate, or hosts' accommodation letter
- Medical report (MPMC102/MPMC103) if staying 1 year or more and over 16
- Police report if staying 1 year or more and over 18
