I have an FAA License and an ANAC License (Brazil), on which license would it be more beneficial to get the type rating under? Not that I'm rushing out of here to go buy a type rating, but if I get one on my ANAC license there's a small process I can go through to get it on the FAA license.
I've been issued a Philippine ATP with a type after just an afternoon at the ATO office in Manila. The Saudis will also do a straight forward conversion of a FAA certificate.
You might want to check that "small process" to move a foreign type to a FAA certificate. You can get a 61.75 with the types limited to "VFR only." Then you can pass the FAA Instrument test and have "US test passed" added to the 61.75 cert. If you then get a regular FAA certificate you can have the type transfered if the training was given by the holder of a FAA CFI. But if you already have a regular FAA certificate you can't get a 61.75.
