Lithuania to Canada
Do I need a visa for Canada?
Lithuanian citizens do not need a visa for short tourist visits, but you must have an approved electronic travel authorisation (eTA) before you depart. The eTA is not a visa; it is applied for online and normally issues within minutes to hours.
The eTA, once granted, is valid for five years.
Which documents do I need?
You must travel on a passport. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry.
A Lithuanian national identity card, a driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry on this route.
Are vaccinations required for Canada?
No vaccinations are mandatory to enter Canada.
Authorities recommend tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) revaccination for adults where appropriate.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
The permitted length of stay for this route is not stated here.
Arrival registration is required and is completed online through the official Canadian entry‑registration portal linked on this page.
Can children travel on this route?
Travellers under 18 need only the accepted travel document (a passport) and no additional parental‑consent letters or notarised permissions are required for minors on this route.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended but is not a condition of entry. You are advised to arrange health and travel insurance that suits your needs before travel.
Where do I get the visa?
The eTA is applied for through the official Canadian eTA portal linked on this page; the application is online only and there is no in‑person eTA application at an embassy or consulate. The Lithuanian embassy in Canada and the Canadian embassy in Lithuania provide consular assistance but are not the eTA application portal.

What documents does my child need to travel with me?
