For international flight, is there anyway to print the boarding pass at home either through the AA app or aa.com website?
I believe that if there's a visa involved (can't travel on a simple tourist visa) then yes you need to see an agent before you can obtain a BP. Your documents need to be checked that you either have a visa stamp in your passport or an electronic visa on file.
