Do u need to be a us citizen to be a commercial pilot?

Question

or could u just b a permanent residence (green card)

Answer 1

naa,many countries in the world have commercial pilots and they are'nt us citizens.

Answer 2

You do not need to be a citizen to become a pilot. As a foreign citizen, you will have to undergo a background check prior to beginning training. You have to do some paperwork, send in fingerprints, and pay a fee. They are not really a big deal, and the flight school will help you do it.

You can read more about the background check, etc. here:

Answer 3

NO - but you do need a legal status.

Answer 4

Both or either.

Many foreign born people come to USA just to learn to fly.  

When I took private pilot training the question of citizenship NEVER came up.

Good luck...
