Hello again,

of course the VISA has first nothing to do with flying but with entering the USA. But which kind of VISA I need depends on - as far as I understood Naples Air Center's post - whether I want to do flight training or flying based on a validation of a foreign license!?

For my part, I'm coming from germany and I'm holder of a german license. Are there any requirements regarding VISA?
Or can I simply enter the USA (with passport) and flying (after Biannual Flight Review, Checkout and licence validation)?

I think you mean the FAA verification process which is required since sommer, do you? Don't worry, this has already been completed and confirmed.
