Do you need a visum??
Hello,
Just a short question about a visum. I want to get my PPL in the US. And I want to do a short course (Just a few weeks) do you need a visum for it? Or can you do it like a holiday?
Advice please!
Thanks,
Matt

Should be able to do it like a holiday if you're only doing a PPL. Visitor Visas are normally ok for 90 days. If you were doing more such as a Commercial you would need to be there longer and would need a J1 or M1 visa. Which can be sorted through the US Embassy and the training establishment.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm first going to get my PPL, and after that I want to do a full course to become a professional pilot. But the PPL is for previous experience. I'm now looking for a good school where I can get my PPL in a few weeks? any suggestions??

I would have to disagree with you there. You are partially correct, though. As far as I can know, you can enter the US without a visa (depending on where you are from) and stay for 3 months. You just need to complete an I-94. Some nationalities actually do need to apply for a tourist visa, still valid for 3 months, at the local embassy.

I was in Florida for 2 months with just a visitors Visa like regional guy described.
Only hired from one place and that was Orlando Flight Training in Kissimmee. I know people have had problems there with aircraft availability, but the guys there are good fun. Important to get good training and enjoy it at the same time.

Ok, regional - I agree...half each, eh??
From certain countries, you do need a visitor visa - and it probably is 90 days. From KitKat's UK address, the answer is No!.
The green coloured form completed on the aircraft (for INS) is an I94W - not an I94. The 94 is given to those with visas (and is white) - the 94W is given to those without visas...hence the name "Visa Waiver Scheme".

You are right. I meant I-94W, I guess we finally got it right.
