Part of the package service when organizing a charter can be assistance in obtaining permits, such as visas, invitations, insurance and foreign passports.
According to current regulations, private aviation passengers, as well as travelers crossing the border by other means of transport, must obtain entry visas (where necessary). The list of countries and the requirements for the package of documents depends on the citizenship of passengers. So, citizens of Russian Federation need to obtain visas in advance to enter the territory of the United States, to the countries of the Schengen zone, to most of the countries of the Middle East, Africa, Oceania and Asia.
The terms for processing requests and getting permits also vary (from two weeks to obtaining a visa directly at the airport of landing of a private jet). Keep in mind that flying to the EU countries obligates to obtain a visa in advance, and documents should be submitted to the embassy of the country where your private jet will land. At the same time, the presence of a Schengen visa will make it possible to move freely between EU countries without passport control at the internal borders of the states.
To avoid wasting time when collecting a package of documents, submitting an application, paying a state fee and settling other bureaucratic difficulties, the Horizon Aviation International has implemented a service of assistance in obtaining a visa. You just have to tell a manager the visa of which country you need to get, provide a passport (to make a copy), a foreign passport and a photo. Depending on specific requirements of the country you plan to visit, a number of other documents may be required, for example, a certificate from the place of work, a certificate from the bank about the availability of funds in the accounts, an insurance policy valid for the period of the trip, consent to take the child out if he / she flies on a private jet with one of the parents, etc. For up-to-date information and requirements, please contact your personal manager of Horizon Aviation International.
Keep in mind that if a private jet makes a technical stop (for example, to fuel top-up) in the territory of a third country and passengers don’t leave the jet, then a visa (even a transit one) in most cases shouldn’t be applied.
