Nations with lengthy entry for Canadians w/o formal visa

Postby saren on Tue Oct 14, 2008 1:07 am

List of Countries with lengthy entry for Canadian tourists without formal visa?

I'm looking for a list of countries (worldwide) that offer 30day, 60day, or 90day (3 month) visa-free entry to Canadian tourists/travelers? Usually, these countries are free to enter, there is no visa requirement, and visitors can stay a long time (up to 90 days, if not longer), as long as they enter for the purposes of tourism.

Hong Kong (3months),
Malaysia (3months)
USA (6months),
UK (6months),
EU Schengen (3months within every 6month period)

Other countries require a tax, or fee to enter, or visa on arrival (but still no visa application)

Turkey (3months, for $50?)
Mexico (3months, for $?)
Albania (just 10euro)

Please help me list some other countries? I'm looking for a worldwide list, the Canada government website takes too long to filter out this type of information. Please (don't include countries that require a visa). Thanks.

APPLY FOR A VISA AT AN EMBASSY- REQUIREMENTS and PROCEDURE

* Passport with a validity of at least 6 months.
* Visa application form.
* 2 photos of passport regulation size (see above).
* Visa fee: range of US$45 - 85 if application is sent directly to the Embassy or US$25-55 if your visa has been pre-approved. This fee depends on The Embassy and Type of visa required.

The visa application form may vary from Embassy to Embassy, so you need to take the form from the specific Embassy where you will obtain your visa. Submit this form filled with your original passport, 2 or 3 photos, accompanied by the visa fee. If you apply directly to The Embassy, your information will then be sent to Hanoi for approval. Therefore, it will take between 4 to 10 days depending on your country of origin. In case the Visa has already been approved at the Hanoi Immigration Office, this will then take only one day. The tourist visa is for a single entry only and a one-month stay, but it can be extended after you enter Vietnam. Diplomatic, official visas, business and other types of visas should be handled through the official agencies or government or business sponsor of the traveler.

Barbados will stamp you at the airport for 30 days (sometimes 60 if you are lucky). You still have to provide a departure ticket (that's normal).

Once you're here, you can apply at immigration for a visitor's extension which will usually get you another 3 months. It costs $50bbd (so $25 US), and you need to fill out a form, bring your departure ticket, provide passport-size photographs, as well as attend an interview.

Wikipedia has such a list in their "Canadian passport" article. en.wikipedia.*/wiki/Canadian_passport#Visa-free_entry

I'm not sure the Ireland info is correct. It might just be a maximum stay (if granted by the Immigration officer) of 90 days and not 90 days in 180 days. Ireland is not part of Schengen. But I don't have time to research this.

yOU ARE RIGHT, ireland is not shengen, and its just 90 days, NOT 90/180 days, problem with wikipedia is incorrect information poses as credible information sometimes. There are probably other mistakes on that page as well.
