NO MORE VISA-ON-ARRIVAL TO TURKEY

It is no longer possible for Canadians to obtain a visa-on-arrival in Turkey. Canadians arriving in Turkey must have an e-visa prior to travel.

Please be aware that you will NOT be boarded on the plane without having an e-visa for Turkey.

Canadians now enjoy dramatically lower fees and pay only US$20 per person. The e-visa is multiple-entry with a validity of 180 days from date of issue.

The rules for cruise ship passengers are as follows:
-Visitors don’t need an e-visa if they don't leave the ship.
-Visitors don’t need an e-visa if they only tour in the respective port city of Turkey. (Permission will be given by local border police authorities to enter Turkey).
-Visitors WILL need a visa if they want to tour beyond the respective port city of Turkey.

BRAZIL FIFA 2014 - BEFORE YOU APPLY

This is the best news out of Brazil for Canadians in a long time --- FREE VISAS!!!

Special Temporary Visas for FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 issued to Canadians Spectators,

It is absolutely mandatory that you present your FIFA ticket in order to qualify for the free visa. The Brazilians had to make the Spectator visa free, but will still impose a $25 embassy charge. So free means $25 plus processing.

Tickets for FIFA will be delivered starting on 1 April, 2014. Do not apply until you have your ticket or ticket confirmation/ticket certificate. Applying before ticket delivery will change your application to TOURIST visa and the regular fees will apply.
