There will also no longer be any testing of travellers touching down at Faleolo International Airport or any other port of entry into Samoa - namely those arriving from nearby American Samoa.
Passengers will not have to complete health arrival cards at the airport and the related penalties and fees for any false declarations have been dropped too; as is the enforcement of mask-wearing at the airport.
Cabinet's decision to remove the travel restrictions was made as per advice from the Ministry of Health and analysis of available information, Tuala said.
The announcement comes as Samoa remained one of the few countries in the Pacific region to maintain strict rules around its borders and travellers coming into the country; despite confirmation of Covid community transmission from March.
Up to $120 for RAT test travel certificate
Samoa required travellers to complete a supervised RAT test from a medical centre within 24 hours of travel - a cost of between $30 to $120, depending on various medical clinics around New Zealand.
One family told the Herald they were shocked at having to pay for three RAT testing travel clearance certificates at $120 each before flying to Samoa from Auckland last week.
That cost included a test for their primary school-aged daughter.
"There was a few of us - some old men too. We had to wait anxiously for 15 minutes for results and paperwork and we were trying to make the closing of the check-in at 7.30am."
The family were tested at a 24-hour clinic in Greenlane.
Samoa's strict rules had resulted in complaints from some travellers; with reports of people being put on a plane back to Auckland or Fiji because they had not printed out the necessary documentation required to enter the country.
The island nation detected its first Covid case in the community on March 17 - sending the country into a sudden lockdown.
