AMERICAN SAMOA
Pago Pago • “Samoa, Let God Be First”
Unincorporated territory of the United States
Partition of Samoa on December 2, 1899
American Samoa is one of five U.S. territories. It’s the only one that does not have birthright citizenship. Therefore, as U.S. Nationals, they can not vote in presidential elections nor run for Congress.
As U.S. Nationals, they can live and travel anywhere in the U.S. and have U.S. Passports. Going back to the 1900s, Congress did not grant birthright citizenship to the inhabitants, now with over 50,000 U.S. Nationals.
American Samoa is located in the South Pacific Ocean, southeast of the island country of Samoa. It is east of the International Date Line, while Samoa is west of the Line. The total land area is 199 square kilometers (76.8 sq mi), which is slightly more than Washington, D.C.
American Samoa is the southernmost territory of the United States and one of two U.S. territories south of the Equator, along with the uninhabited Jarvis Island. Tuna products are the main exports, and the main trading partner is the rest of the United States.
American Samoa has been a member of the Pacific Community since 1983. American Samoa is noted for having the highest rate of military enlistment of any U.S. state or territory.
All U.S. nationals have statutory rights to reside in all parts of the United States, and may apply for citizenship by naturalization after three months of residency by paying a fee, passing a test in English and civics, and taking an oath of allegiance to the United States.
All U.S. nationals also have the right to work in the United States, except in certain government jobs that specifically require U.S. citizenship.
American Samoa island residents are rolling out the “Welcome to American Samoa”, “You’re Welcome Here!”, welcome mats to visitors, local entrepreneurs, new startups, online sales, business founders, new residents, new contributors, and more value-added American Samoa businesses.
