us visa for pilots

Post by splash12 »

Hello everyone , hopefully fellow pilots who were in the same boat can shed some light on this.

i recently got hired by a 703 operator that does some flying in the states.

for US travel does any one know if B1/B2 visa is enough for transiting or we need another type of visa.

Thanks,

C registered airplane for a Canadian company operating in the USA, it should be nothing more than a b1/b2. I get stamped for a b1/b2 every time I enter the USA and never had an issue. Just make sure you have the appropriate FAA ops specs for operating commercially in the USA and file eapis/clear customs every time you cross the border in the airplane and you should be golden.

Edit: I should have added that this is assuming you are a Canadian Citizen with a Canadian passport....could be different if you hold a different passport.

After completion of a full professional flight training program, you are eligible to work as flight instructors then you need an F-1 Visa for work in the usa.
