Vatican citizens travelling to Canada now need a visa, the Canadian government has announced.
The change, which comes into effect on December 31, means Vatican passport-holders will now have to apply for a temporary resident visa before travelling to Canada.
The move follows a similar change made by the United States earlier this year, which saw Vatican citizens requiring a visa to enter America.
The Canadian government says the change is being made to “align” with its immigration policies.

Conclusion
As of September 1st, 2019, Vatican City citizens can apply for a visa to visit Canada. This change is the result of a bilateral agreement between the two countries, which came into effect on that date.
Vatican City citizens wishing to visit Canada must submit a completed visa application, along with all required supporting documents, to the Canadian visa office responsible for processing applications from citizens of their country or region. Applications can be submitted either in person or by mail.
The fee for a single-entry visa is $85 CAD, and the fee for a multiple-entry visa is $170 CAD. Fees are subject to change without notice, and must be paid in Canadian dollars. Visa applicants are responsible for ensuring that they have the required travel documents and funds for their trip.
Once issued, a Canadian visa is valid for up to 10 years from the date of issuance, and allows the holder to stay in Canada for up to 6 months at a time. Those who wish to stay longer or extend their stay in Canada must apply for an extension from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) before their current status expires.
Failure to do so may result in removal from Canada and possible bars to future entry. For more information on applying for a Canadian visa, please consult the website of the Government of Canada’s immigration department.
