Albus, I must disagree.

The FAA has no authority to dictate another country's rules. The FAA's single pilot waiver is a waiver against *only* 14 CFR. It is *not* a waiver against any other jurisdiction's regulations. Once you step outside US territory you must also comply with that foreign country's rules as well. If that country's regulations requires two crew then you must comply. If you don't then you are not only in breach of that country's rules, but also 14 CFR Part 91.703 (which specifies that foreign regulations must be followed too):

"§ 91.703 Operations of civil aircraft of U.S. registry outside of the United States.
(a) Each person operating a civil aircraft of U.S. registry outside of the United States shall -
(1) When over the high seas, comply with annex 2 (Rules of the Air) to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and with §§ 91.117(c), 91.127, 91.129, and 91.131;
(2) When within a foreign country, comply with the regulations relating to the flight and maneuver of aircraft there in force;
(3) Except for §§ 91.117(a), 91.307(b), 91.309, 91.323, and 91.711, comply with this part so far as it is not inconsistent with applicable regulations of the foreign country where the aircraft is operated or annex 2 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation; and .....
