skyrider 0 #2 March 17, 2010 Just drop into your local DZ's and see if they are hiring, or simply set up a tarp, if the owners say it is OK! (You'll have ot be cleared by a local rigger of course) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irip 0 #3 March 17, 2010 Thank you for your advice. I forgot to say one thing, in Romania still exists free skydiving if u are part of renional team, or national team, and the same for the beginers , but with limited number. At my regional DZ i just go to train beginers , and to be a paid person in the institution of the state it's weird plus it's hard to get there, because the comunist thinking didn't dissapear for good, i hope u understand what i'm saying. I want to do it somewhere else then Romania, because i want to learn new things, go to a new level.Don't ride faster than your guardian angel can fly!

skyrider 0 #4 March 17, 2010 Do you have a local organisation, such as USPA, that lays out guide lines? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irip 0 #5 March 17, 2010 Yep we do , it's the AR-RA Romania's Aeroclub, witch as a institution they give licences and all that, but if u need to do a course for example tandem master u have to do it outside the country cause we don't have people who own this kind of licence. We have a few private dropzones also but it;s same thing, basicly some instructures opened their own business and they don't give a damn about the students, nor performance or beginers. It's complicated.Don't ride faster than your guardian angel can fly! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 0 #6 March 17, 2010 Please note - if you pack parachutes for money (or jumps, or food, or lodging, or any kind of compensation), and you are not a citizen or a permanent resident alien, I'm pretty sure that that is considered "employment", for which you are required by US law to have a work visa (that is, not just a tourist visa or student visa).

Tiger6513 0 #7 March 17, 2010 Also note that millions of mexicans work here and live off of Uncle Sam so I wouldn't be too concerned about the visa... just sneak in like everybody else, then apply for welfare! j/k... good luck!Travis Roy Foundation.

irip 0 #10 March 17, 2010 No man, i know don't compare me with maxicans, even if it doesn't sounds good, i don't want to come in States, i thought that this a forum for the EU also. I've been working in US on a cruise ships for a couple of years, i know the laws and everything, even if i would chose US it will be hard cause i have a wife so i need to take her around even thow we don't need visa for US for the first 3 monts. I want a legal job, so, not USA mandatory. It's what I want.Don't ride faster than your guardian angel can fly! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irip 0 #16 March 17, 2010 Thank you mate, I would like if this dream will come true, even thow I'm do old for this kind of dreams but whatever. I was working for Carnival Cuise Lines , because somebody asked, and all was legal, paying tax, for about 2 years. But this is rather a modern slavery than a job even if it's paid. Anyways I wouldn't mind if I find something ,legal, un USA.Don't ride faster than your guardian angel can fly! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger6513 0 #17 March 17, 2010 Well I feel that I should apologize for my negative remarks towards "Un-documented Aliens" who may actually be here w/o "abusing" the system. However, there are many illegal aliens that are not so intent on working towards being self sufficient and violence free. Mind you I have no remorce for our own lazy ass citizens who abuse the hell out of "our" tax dollars... that aren't being paid by many (not all) Undocumented Aliens.Travis Roy Foundation.

How to spell it!just kidding...have you ever spent a whole day bent over packing parachutes? It plays hell with older back,and hands! Plus th eonlyway it is serious money, is a Big DZ, at a little one, most folks are packing their own, to kill time between flights, and loads! Place liek Perris, there are MANY rich jumpers, that simply land throw down the rig, ande pay up at the end of the day, those packers make serious money!
