Entry details
Holders of a Samoa passport need a visa obtained in advance when visiting China. The Samoa passport currently ranks #84 of 199 worldwide, with 115 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
China is middling in how freely it admits visitors, admitting 67 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #106 with 83 open destinations. Access is actually lopsided the other way — China citizens enter Samoa more easily (visa on arrival).
In the opposite direction, China citizens travelling to Samoa face: visa on arrival.
