Canada eTA Requirements for Citizens of Spain

The application process for a Canada eTA is easy and straightforward and requires Spaniards to fill in an online questionnaire and submit it for evaluation. The form includes standard questions common to many entry authorization applications and asks the Spanish citizen to submit basic information such as the following details:

• Full name
• Place of birth
• Citizenship
• Gender
• Email address
• Passport details
• Medical history
• Confirmation of sufficient funds for their stay

If Spanish travelers have already obtained their travel tickets to Canada, they will simply be required to share their arrival details. It is imperative to note that their answers cannot be changed after submission. We recommend checking your answers properly before proceeding to the payment section of the eTA application process.

Once Spanish citizens have submitted their Electronic Travel Authorization requests, they are evaluated and processed by the Canadian government.

The evaluation process takes between 24 and 72 hours. Upon confirmation that the application is in order and the payment has been successfully processed, the approved eTAs are electronically linked to the Spanish travelers’ passports, who will be notified by email.

Once the approved eTAs are linked to their passports, Spanish nationals are authorized to travel to Canada.

With a validity of 5 years, the Canadian eTA offers ample flexibility to Spanish citizens to make one or more visits throughout this period. They must simply remember to book their arrival and departure tickets for each stay within 6 months each time.

Nationals of Spain do not need to carry a printed copy of the eTA. They will simply have to remember to present their passports before boarding their flight to Canada and upon arrival in Canada at passport controls to be scanned, which will allow entry.
