    I believe it's better to see the people and explain who you are. Applications on-line are judged solely on the information given. You've heard of first impressions, this is the time that you can make it work for you.

    As far as i know you have to get a working visa from their embassy, it has to do with paying taxes i believe. You also have to transfer your CDL and do some training just so you can get familiar with rules and regulations here..... Hope this helps some
