Ferry pilot query
A question for all those involved with ferrying airplanes from say Asia/Africa to the US..
Is it true that the pilots need to have a visa for each country where they stop for either refueling or overnight stay?
I was informed by someone that there is an international provision which allows for Flightcrew ferrying an aircraft, a 72 hour temporary permit to stay in a country on arrival. Has anyone ever heard of it or utilized this facility???

Depends purely on the local entry requirements and your nationality. If VISA's are required, most can be obtained on arrival or can be arranged by your flight support provider so long as they receive all the necessary information from you in advance.

You certainly need an aircrew visa for entry into the USofA if you're ferrying an aeroplane in.
Didn't need one for Iceland, Greenland or Canada as a UK citizen, but as you don't say your nationality you'd probably be better off checking with the embassy for each country en-route.
