Converting FAA license to CAAP
Been trying to find information regarding a license conversion. CAAP website is not to helpful.
I have the opportunity to gain Filipino citizenship through the wife.
Once I have citizenship, is the conversion easy? Posts from a couple years past have indicated thats it is hard to get if you are not a citizen.
Looking to convert CMEL CSEL IR (260 hours)
Any help or direction is appreciated.

I realize this may be a long shot, but perhaps you can contact the DGCA in the Philippines. They may have a website that may lead you in the right direction. Good luck.

What are the job opportunities in the Philippines ? Are you currently a US Citizen? Career wise you’re waaaay better off staying stateside till you can land a good paying job overseas.

I can say (from experience) that the CAAP license validation and conversion process is both lengthy and tedious
A visit to the CAAP office located near NAIA in Manila is necessary to obtain the application form and checklist of requirements
Completing the checklist will require visits to multiple government agencies to obtain documents such as NBI clearance, Radiotelephone license, etc
Depending on your experience and license (ATP, Commercial) one or more academic tests will be required - Philippine Air Law at a minimum, possibly more
I have heard that 'onboarding' Cebu Pacific contract pilots (having an ATPL) take several weeks to complete this process
This mirrors my own experience as a permanent resident completing the checklist on my own time
If you are visiting the Manila area for an extended vacation with the wife, you may wish to pursue this
Otherwise, I suggest you focus your professional activities in the USA where the opportunities are much more plentiful right now
