Hi all,

I'm a NZ Citizen who is currently working in the Netherlands. In the last 10 years I lived in Australia and got a PPL with 120 hours.

I'm not sure if I should put in the time/money/effort here in the Netherlands to carry onto a CPL.

The reason is that since I'm not a European Resident I am not sure if I'm eligible to work at a pilot in Europe at all.

I can continue building my hours here but even then it takes quite a bit of time and money to have my PPL converted to an EASA license.

Would you say it is worth the effort to continue flying here?

Many thanks

I hear a fair amount of Australians(& other nationalities)on the frequency flying for US carriers. Yes, I saw NZ.

Just saying, if things stay the same, get legal for US flying & come on over.

Australian citizens can get a work visa and apply the Regionals.
AFAIK that doesn’t apply to Kiwi’s.
You’d be better off asking on Pprune.org as that is more of an International crowd.
I see you already have.
