Samoa Immigration aims to protect Samoa and its people through:
*The effective management of Samoa's borders
*Ensuring compliance with entry permit regulations
*The creation of high integrity travel documentation
*Continuous assessment and improvement of Immigration services.
In meeting these objectives, Samoa Immigration offers several key services to Samoan and foreign citizens. These are broadly categorised as:
'''Citizenship Services'''<nowiki>: The issuing of travel documents to Samoan citizens and the processing of citizenship applications by foreign citizens.</nowiki>
'''Permit Services'''<nowiki>: The processing and issuing of entry permits to foreign citizens, particularly temporary residence permits for a range of purposes including study, business investment and employment.</nowiki>
'''Visitor Services'''<nowiki>: The issuing of visitor permits for foreign citizens travelling to Samoa for less than sixty (60) days.</nowiki>
Samoa Immigration is based in Apia, Samoa, but works closely with Samoa's overseas Missions to provide its services to Samoan and foreign citizens abroad. The authority for their work is mandated by several key legislative Acts and public service regulations. They work closely with other areas of government and overseas counterparts in meeting national, regional, and global objectives.
