- Samoa ↗Many passports receive a visitor permit on arrival with an onward ticket, but rules vary: check the Samoa Immigration Office for your passport before booking.

- Samoa ↗Drive on the left; check with the rental company whether your licence is accepted or a temporary local permit is required.
- Upolu ↗Plan Sunday as a rest day: many shops, tours and village swimming spots are closed.
- Apia ↗Heat and uneven pavements: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Apia ↗Sunday is a rest day: most shops, market stalls and tours are closed and swimming near villages is often not allowed. Plan your town sights for Monday to Saturday.
