Canadian ETA for one night stay (from US)
I will arrive at a Canadian hotel at Niagara Falls just for one night stay from the US by car. The following day I will drive back into the US.
I will have a regular ESTA. Will I need the ETA for the single night stay or am I ok with the ESTA?
I know that if entering by car ETA is not required, but I'm not sure if this applies also to a night stay.
Best Answer
An ETA is not required if you drive into Canada, whether you stay overnight or not.
An ETA is required if you are flying into Canada.
Both of the above assumes that you would qualify for ETA entry. If you wouldn't qualify for ETA entry you'd need a Visa.
