Samoa Travel Advice
Samoa has recently implemented a policy to switch the side of the road on which vehicles travel from right-side to left-side. As many vehicles currently being driven in Samoa have steering wheels on the left, care should be taken when driving on the roads.
Travellers should avoid driving out of built-up areas at night.
Most visits to Samoa are trouble-free but incidents of petty theft are fairly common.
Samoa lies on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" and regularly experiences seismic and volcanic activity.
The tropical storm season in Samoa normally runs from November to April.
There is a low threat from terrorism in Samoa. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
