Frequently asked questions
A dedicated New Zealand immigration category for Samoan citizens, roughly 1,100 places a year, selected by ballot among valid registrations. Those drawn who meet employment, health and character requirements receive residence in New Zealand. It is a ballot, not an entitlement.
No. It is for Samoan citizens, and Samoan citizenship is chiefly by descent. If anyone offers 'Samoan citizenship to reach New Zealand', stop — the same pattern as 'Palauan citizenship for US access' and 'Micronesian citizenship for US access'.
No. They are US nationals but not US citizens. They hold US passports and may live and work in the United States without limit, but cannot vote in federal elections, and to become full citizens must naturalise like foreigners. They are the only group in the world in this position.
In substantial part to shield the customary land system and the matai structure from US constitutional provisions on equal protection and property, which could force land open. Litigation seeking recognition of citizenship has been brought, and the American Samoan government opposed it for that reason.
No. Roughly 81% of the country is customary land, belonging to extended families and administered by matai, and it cannot be sold, not even between Samoans. Foreigners may only lease under legally permitted mechanisms.
In 1982 the Privy Council confirmed that group were New Zealand citizens in law, but New Zealand promptly passed legislation removing that status from most of them. In recent years New Zealand has revisited restoring citizenship under defined conditions. This is a changing area, so check the rules currently in force.
To move from the eastern to the western side of the International Date Line. Samoa had been 21 hours out of step with Australia and New Zealand, so Apia's working days fell on its partners' weekends. For the same commercial reason, in 2009 Samoa switched from driving on the right to the left in order to import cheap used cars from New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
Not to that degree. Samoa is volcanic with high terrain and does not face loss of territory. Its climate risk is tropical cyclones, landslides and tsunami — the 2009 tsunami killed hundreds across Samoa and American Samoa.
