They include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You must be arriving only&nbsp;<em>by air&nbsp;<\/em>to Canada. This means that the eTA is not valid if you plan to cross through a land border, such as the United States, or by sea<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Your Belgian passport must be an\u00a0electronic passport\u00a0(also known as a biometric passport) that is machine-readable. This is because the Canadian eTA is electronically linked to your passport and must be readable by the border immigration\u2019s machines.<\/li><li>Your visit to Canada must fall under tourism, business, transit, or medical purposes.<\/li><li>You must be 18 or older to apply for the\u00a0<strong>Canada eTA from Belgium<\/strong>. Otherwise, you will need to gain the permission of your parent or guardian.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these\u00a0requirements\u00a0have been met, you may\u00a0<strong>apply for the Canada eTA from Belgium.\u00a0<\/strong>The following items and documents are needed in order to do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>A valid Belgian passport<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 In order to get a Canadian eTA, all Belgian travelers must have a current Belgian passport with at least six months of validity.<\/li><li><strong>Personal information\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 While filling out the application, all travelers will need to provide information that pertains to their passport, personal information (address, contact information), employment history, and\u00a0travel details\/itinerary<\/li><li><strong>A valid form of payment\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Travelers will need a valid form of payment, such as a debit or credit card, to pay the eTA application fees<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO APPLY FOR A CANADA VISA FROM BELGIUM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to\u00a0applying for a Canadian visa waiver\u00a0from Belgium is to fill out the\u00a0<strong>Canada eTA application from Belgium.\u00a0<\/strong>The process takes less than 30 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill out the online eTA application form and upload documents in electronic formatApply for Canada ETA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay eTA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay the eTA Canada fee with Credit or Debit Card<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Receive ETA Canada<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Receive Approved ETA by email<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the application is complete, it is necessary to\u00a0pay the eTA fee\u00a0before submitting the form.

By selecting \u2018Urgent guaranteed processing in less than 1 hour\u2019 when paying the eTA fee, applicants are able to have their travel authorization processed and receive a response in under 60 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a Canadian electronic authorization is approved\u00a0it is<strong>\u00a0automatically linked electronically to the traveler\u2019s passport<\/strong>. The approved Canadian eTA is valid for five years or until the traveler\u2019s passport expires \u2013 whichever comes first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that an approved Canadian eTA allows the traveler to visit Canada as long as the stay is under 180 days in duration.
