Andorra to Canada visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Canada. They are visa-exempt and need only an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) when arriving by air. The eTA costs CAD 7, is valid up to 5 years, and permits stays of up to 6 months per visit. Andorra is on Canada's eTA-required country list, so an Andorran (AD) ordinary passport holder does not need a visitor visa for tourism but must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before flying to or transiting through a Canadian airport. The eTA is an online pre-screening linked electronically to the passport; it costs CAD 7, is approved (usually within minutes) for most applicants, and is valid for up to 5 years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. It allows multiple entries and tourist stays normally up to 6 months at a time, with the final admission period decided by a border officer on arrival. Important: the eTA is required only for AIR travel. Andorrans arriving by car, bus, train, or boat (including cruise ship) usually do not need an eTA, though they must carry a valid passport and meet the normal entry requirements. Canada is not part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to Canadian entry. This guidance is confirmed against official Canada.ca / IRCC and CBSA sources as of 2026-06-19.
