Entry requirements for United Kingdom
🇨🇦 Canadian passport holders
- Tourist visa: not required for stays of up to 6 months
Read the full Canadian entry requirements
Travelling to the UK as a dual citizen
Starting February 25, 2026, the United Kingdom will begin strict enforcement of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) requirement for all travellers. If you’re a Canadian citizen but also a citizen of the United Kingdom or Ireland, you cannot apply for an ETA. You must travel on your British, Irish, or British overseas territories citizen passport. If you do not have any of these documents, you will need to apply for one, or apply for a certificate of entitlement to travel on your Canadian passport.
If you are unsure whether you are a citizen of the United Kingdom or Ireland, you must verify your status before you travel. You may be denied boarding if you do not present the required documentation to enter the UK.

Some countries have imposed measures in response to the Ebola disease outbreak. These can include restrictions on entry and health screening measures for travellers having recently visited an affected country. If you are suspected of having symptoms, you may be subject to isolation, quarantine and/or travel restrictions. Contact the authorities of the country you are travelling to for more details.
The authorities of a country or territory decide who can enter or exit through its borders. The Government of Canada cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet your destination’s entry or exit requirements.
We have obtained the information on this page from local authorities. It can, however, change at any time.
Verify this information with the Foreign Representatives in Canada.
Passport
Entry requirements vary depending on the type of passport you're travelling with.
Before you travel, check with your transportation company about passport requirements. Its rules on passport validity may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Regular Canadian passport
Your passport must be valid for at least the expected duration of your stay in the United Kingdom. This requirement may also apply when travelling to Northern Ireland from other parts of the United Kingdom, and vice versa.
Passport for official travel
Different entry rules may apply.
Passport with “X” gender identifier
While the Government of Canada issues passports with an “X” gender identifier, it cannot guarantee your entry or transit through other countries. You might face entry restrictions in countries that do not recognize the “X” gender identifier. Before you leave, verify this information with the closest foreign representative for your destination.
You should also be aware that current systems used by some countries and travel companies may not recognize the “X” gender identifier. You may still be asked to provide your sex/gender information as either male or female when travelling.
Other travel documents
Different entry rules may apply when travelling with a temporary passport or an emergency travel document. Before you leave, verify this information with the closest foreign representative for your destination.

Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)
You need to apply for an ETA before travelling to the UK. You must travel on the passport used for your ETA application.
You do not need an ETA if, for example, you:
- are transiting through an airport in the UK without passing border control
- are a dual national travelling on your British, Irish, or British overseas territories citizen passport
- have a visa or permission to live, work or study in the UK
- live in Ireland and you are travelling from Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle of Man
Useful links
- Travelling to Europe
- Apply for an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) – UK Visas and Immigration
Visas
Tourist visa: not required for stays of up to 6 months
Business visa or work permit: required
Student visa: required
You may need a work permit or visa even if you plan to do:
- unpaid work
- volunteer work
- part-time work
- temporary work
A marriage visitor visa is also required if you plan to get married or register a civil partnership in the United Kingdom.
You must apply online for your visa before you travel to the UK. The High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom, in London, cannot assist you in your visa application process. Useful links
- Check if you need a UK visa - UK Government
- UK Visas and Immigration - UK Government
- Pay for UK healthcare as part of your immigration application - UK Government
Other entry requirements
UK Border officials may ask you to show them a return or onward ticket and proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself for the duration of your stay.
If you are unable to do so, or if you seek entry as a visitor but are found with items indicating that you intend to seek any type of employment (such as curriculum vitae or educational certificates), you may be denied entry and expelled from the country.
Similarly, if you seek entry as a visitor and are suspected of planning to reside in the UK for any reason, including having a UK-based partner, you may be denied entry.
If you have previously been refused entry, contact the British High Commission in Ottawa to enquire about entry clearance before making plans to visit the UK, even if a visa is normally not required.
Transiting through a United Kingdom airport
If you plan to transit through a United Kingdom airport, make sure you comply with the entry requirements of your final destination. If you don’t meet the entry requirements of your final destination, you may be denied boarding or forced to wait in the UK to apply for a new passport, which can take several days.
Unplanned layovers could lead to substantial travel costs and delays. You should not depend on the Government of Canada for assistance related to changes to your travel plans.

Other passports
Rules depend on your nationality, so we do not guess. Before you book:
- Read your own government's travel advice first (US travellers: State Department page for United Kingdom).
- Official government portal: UK ETA (official). Real portals sit on government domains; copycat sites often charge extra.
- Not sure what your passport needs? Check the visa rules for your nationality (eVisas visa checker) or compare with VisaHQ. These are affiliate links: if you use their application service we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Official government sites are usually cheaper and are linked above where we have them.
- Check your passport: many countries want it valid for 6 months after arrival and with blank pages.
- Check for an e-visa, travel authorisation or digital arrival card, and any vaccine rules (yellow fever is the common one).
- Ask your airline: they can refuse boarding if your documents do not match the rules.
New entry systems that affect United Kingdom
UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)
Visitors who do not need a visa must get an ETA before travelling. The government site lists the fee as £20 and warns about lookalike websites that charge more.
