Visiting Canada: Vatican citizen → Canada
✅
No visa needed — just an eTA
Vatican City passport holders are visa-exempt for short visits to Canada. To FLY to Canada you need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA); you don't need one to arrive by car, bus, train or boat.
The bottom line
- Apply online for the eTA — it costs CAD $7, links electronically to your passport and is valid up to 5 years (or until the passport expires).
- An eTA is permission to board, not a guarantee of entry — the border officer makes the final call.
- Confirm your exact requirement for your passport on the official canada.ca tool.
