cheers!!
- license verification
- atp-ctp course (useless but required)
- atp-Mel written
- atp Flight test
You will need the correct visa or use the VWP depending on your country, also TSA clearance for the atp-ctp course and a separate TSA clearance for the flight prep and Flight test with which ever school you go through. Also need an FAA medical.
This is all assuming you meet all the requirements of part 61.
You may not need the license verification and your icao ATP is irrrelevant in second thoughts as you are just upgrading you FAA license to an ATP but all other requirements stand.
Good luck
