It doesn’t matter where it’s registered, if you’re in that country working on anything you need a work visa. It’s even more of a PITA to cross the border than ever before even with the proper visa. Never mind the PCR testing and COVID19 hotels.all_ramped_up wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 5:24 pm The one time I was working on C reg company aircraft in the US, we obtained B1 Visas iirc.
They sent us with a letter from the company saying what we were doing and that we weren't working on US aircraft, being paid in Canadian dollars etc.
Was stamped at the border and carried on my way.
So you were sent with a letter saying you weren’t working on US aircraft and being paid from a Canadian company, very similar to the instance I went down that one time and similar information was asked of me. The machine that was there was working and generating revenue from a US based client and I needed a letter of invite from them, and even then they were hesitant to let me in. Was the aircraft you were working on doing scheds in and out of the states or what was the circumstance? Were you just there to rescue an aircraft or doing routine maintenance? I take care of a few c and n registered aircraft in and out of the states and Canada and have an L1b, it’s not even a question if it’s needed or not it’s just done.
