Visa & Entry

Spanish passport holders do not need a visa to visit Canada for up to 6 months. You do need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before boarding your flight. Apply online at the IRCC website. It costs CAD 7 and is usually approved within minutes. The eTA is linked to your passport and valid for 5 years or until your passport expires.

Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. There is no strict 6-month validity rule, but the border officer determines how long you can stay. Bring proof of funds, a return ticket, and accommodation details. The officer may ask about your travel plans.

The eTA is only required for air travel. If you enter Canada by land or sea from the US, no eTA is needed. If you are transiting through a Canadian airport to the US, you still need the eTA even if you do not clear Canadian immigration.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
