without arranging
a visa in advance
Enter with just your passport, no visa needed. Some destinations require a simple electronic travel authorization (eTA). Permitted stay length is shown for each country.
A visa is issued when you land, usually a short form and a fee right at the border. Check the fee and permitted stay before you fly.
Apply online before you travel; approval usually arrives within a few days by email. No embassy visit needed, you land with the document ready.
A visa must be obtained before travelling, via an embassy or consulate of the destination country.
