Do i need A Visa To Attend WEGA Summit?
Yes, if you are from a visa-required country.
In Canada, there is a distinction between visa-exempt countries and visa-required countries. Visa-exempt countries are those whose citizens can enter Canada for tourism or business purposes without obtaining a visitor or business visa. However, they are required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) if traveling by air. On the other hand, individuals from visa-required countries must obtain a visa before entering Canada, regardless of the mode of transportation.
What is an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)?
Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is an electronic entry requirement for visa-exempt individuals visiting Canada by air. It is designed to screen travelers before arrival to determine their admissibility and enhance security.
Travelers from visa-exempt countries need to apply for an eTA online by providing their personal and passport information. Once approved, the eTA is electronically linked to the individual’s passport and remains valid for multiple visits over a period of five years or until the passport expires.
For more updated information regarding visa requirements and application, please consult the official Canadian government website or contact the Canadian embassy or consulate in your home country for accurate and up-to-date information.
