WHO DOESN’T NEED A VISA?
Licence holders who are just coming to the USA to build hours, refresh/renew their licence or to do a skills test are not required to hold a student visa and may enter the country on the Visa Waiver Program ( if a passport holder of a member country) or a B type visa ( if your country is not part of the Visa waiver program), as long as you are not required to gain a license to fly (the conversion offered by the FAA office is not considered flight training). Persons entering on a Visa Waiver or B type visa will be required to hold a return air ticket. A new requirement for Visa Waiver entry is to complete ESTA.
