Essential info for Canadian travellers
Passport: A valid Canadian passport is required, with at least six months' validity for most of the region. Japan, Thailand and the UAE are visa-free for short tourist stays; Australia requires an ETA applied for before departure.
Travel insurance: Provincial health plans don't cover medical emergencies abroad — comprehensive travel insurance is essential on long-haul trips.
Power & plugs: Varies: Japan uses Type A/B at 100V (Canadian plugs fit), Thailand A/B/C, Australia Type I and the UAE Type G. Bring a universal adapter.
Money: Japan still uses cash widely and IC cards (Suica/ICOCA) tap for trains and shops; Bangkok, Sydney and Dubai are card-friendly. Tipping is not expected in Japan.

Asia & South Pacific travel FAQ
Everything Canadian travellers ask before booking
Do Canadians need a visa for Asia or the South Pacific?
Mostly no. Japan (90 days), Thailand (60 days) and the UAE (90 days) are visa-free for Canadian tourists. Australia requires an ETA, applied for online before you fly.
How long is the flight from Canada?
About 13 hours nonstop Toronto to Tokyo, and roughly 17–20 hours to Bangkok, Sydney or Dubai with one connection. Vancouver saves two to three hours to most of the region.
When is the best time to visit?
March to May for cherry blossom in Japan and dry weather in Thailand, and October to November for autumn colour. June to September brings rain and typhoons but the lowest fares.
What currency should I bring?
It varies — Japanese Yen, Thai Baht, Australian Dollars or UAE Dirham. Carry some cash for Japan; cards are standard in Bangkok, Sydney and Dubai.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes — it's strongly recommended. Provincial health plans don't cover medical emergencies abroad, and long-haul trips carry more disruption risk.
