Samoa passport Botswana

Do Samoans need a visa for Botswana?

No visa needed.

Visa free 90d

You can board a flight to Botswana on a passport from Samoa with no visa. You may stay up to 90 days per visit. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.
