Top Questions
An ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is a pre-screening for visa-exempt nationals — simpler, faster, and usually cheaper. An eVisa is a full electronic visa for nationals who require a visa. ETAs typically allow short stays (tourism, business, transit) while eVisas can cover longer stays and more purposes.
Most ETAs are approved within minutes to a few hours, though some applications are referred for manual review and can take up to 72 hours. Apply at least three business days before you travel.
No. An ETA is linked electronically to your passport, so there is nothing to print. We still recommend saving a copy of your confirmation in case border officials ask to see it.
