Do i have to make a Canada visa to visit Niagara Falls? |
Travel Info I'm Thai citizen who already get US visa valid till early July. And in this early June, i plan to visit Niagara falls and i want to see from Canada side - they say that it's more beautiful, isn't it ? However, i still wonder do i have to make a Canada visa or not ? One more things, it's a good idea to come on early June ? And how about my camera ? It's gonna be wet ??? Thank you for your answers... Travel Tips I don't know if you need a visa, but that sounds like a lot of work just to see it from the other side. Actually, the main viewing area is on the US side. Most of the tourist stuff is to as far as I know. Yes, it's probably going to be busy in June, at least by the end of June and on weekends, but not as busy as July or August. You will be wet if you take a boat ride down next to the falls - its like a rainstorm. Its been a long time since I went there so I can't remember anything else. Others Since you are a Thai citizen you should check with both US and Canadian Immigration authorities. If you look on line you will probably be able to locate phone numbers for both. (You'll want to check with the US authorities to insure that your visa allows you to leave the country and return. ) Not sure about the best season. How wet it will be depends on how close to the falls you get. The Maid of the Mist boats go very close, but you can still view the falls from a greater distance. It is not just the Canadian side of the Falls which is more impressive, so is too the city. The American Niagara Falls city is mostly slums and dangerous. The spray from the Falls is no worse than a rainy days heavy mist, and only extends out a few tens of metres. As to any visa requirements just call or visit the nearest Canadian consulate to where you are in the States. I went to the Falls about 8 years ago with my family and we stayed in New York. It's just as pretty on that side, I think. There are nice resturants and Goat Island and other places to visit. As for the camera, it depends on where you go and how close you stand to the water. We went on this Cave of the Mists thing where you go on a walkway underneath the American Falls. It's absolutely incredible to look up at. You will get wet if you do this. The spray from the falls is very strong so take something to at least clean off your camera after it gets wet. Hope this helps. well as one local comedian says the view from canada is better because you are looking at america personally i feel the canadian side is too commercialized but thats what people like..if you want to see the nature you visit the american side,wanna spend money on useless trinkets then to go to canada .....its always misty at the falls,early june the weather here is generally nice |
