Do Thai passport holders need a visa for Canada?
Thai passport holders generally need a visitor visa for Canada. Some may use an eTA instead when flying if they held a Canadian visitor visa in the past 10 years or hold a valid US non-immigrant visa when applying for the eTA. Arrivals by land or sea still need a visitor visa. Confirm eligibility with IRCC.
