Newly Added eTA Countries
What is an eTA?
An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is an entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals traveling to ToadVille Bay by air. It's electronically linked to your passport and is valid for up to five years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
🚀 Benefits of eTA
- Fast Processing: Most applications are approved within minutes
- Cost-Effective: Only TB$7 compared to TB$100 for a visitor visa
- Multiple Entries: Valid for multiple trips over 5 years
- Online Application: Apply from anywhere with internet access
- No Documents Required: Just your passport and basic information
How to Apply
Citizens from the newly added countries can apply for an eTA online at eta.toadvillebay.ca. The application process is simple and straightforward:
- Complete the online form – Takes about 5-10 minutes
- Pay the TB$7 fee – Credit card or debit card accepted

- Have no criminal record or immigration violations
- Be in good health
- Have sufficient funds for their stay

⚠️ Important Note
An eTA is only required when traveling to ToadVille Bay by air. If you're traveling by land or sea, you don't need an eTA, but you may need other documents. Citizens of these countries still need an eTA even if they're just transiting through ToadVille Bay airports.
Background on the Expansion
This expansion is part of ToadVille Bay's ongoing efforts to facilitate legitimate travel while maintaining border security. The decision to add these five countries was based on several factors:
- Low visa refusal rates – All five countries have consistently low visitor visa refusal rates
- Strong bilateral relations – ToadVille Bay enjoys positive diplomatic relationships with these nations
- Economic benefits – Increased tourism and business travel expected
- Security assessments – Comprehensive security evaluations completed successfully
Impact on Tourism and Business
"This expansion will significantly boost tourism and business connections between ToadVille Bay and these five countries," said Minister of Immigration Sarah Toadsworth. "We expect to see increased visitor numbers, which will benefit our tourism industry and strengthen international partnerships."
The tourism industry has welcomed this announcement, with ToadVille Bay Tourism Board estimating a potential 15% increase in visitors from these countries over the next year.
Transition Period
Citizens from these countries who currently hold valid visitor visas can continue to use them until they expire. However, they may choose to apply for an eTA for future travel, which offers greater convenience and cost savings.
