Immigration reports good revenue collection in 2nd quarter

The government got a little boost in its revenue collection for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 with more than half a million coming from the Immigration Office, which is under the Department of Legal Affairs.

 

Immigration Office’s second quarter report states that the office between Jan. 1- Mar. 31, 2014 collected a total of $647,205 in revenues, which includes $169,350 in immigration bonds and $466,080 in fees for permits — including 14-day permits and guest workers; immigration ID applications, renewals and clearances.

 

In conjunction with the Immigration Board, the Immigration Office oversees and regulates the requests by foreigners to visit, reside and/or work in American Samoa. It also administers and regulates the ports of entry for the territory — Pago Pago International Airport and Pago Pago Harbor.
