Application Guide for Candidates and Providers
The link below will help international students to fill out the necessary form to apply for flight training in the U.S. The fee is ($130.00 USD) and will need to be paid when the TSA sends a note to the student asking for payment. The student will also need to submit fingerprints when requested.

After students fill out the form, they should print a copy of ALL forms and payment records submitted to the TSA for their personal records.
