Now, there's a couple of issues. Can you get a medical in that country and can you work there, even if for a limited time.
I'd investigate the FAA for starters.
Otherwise, you could try ATC and fly privately.
How could I obtain a renewal if I can’t get the initial?
I mean my guess is that all over Europe the medical standards are set by EASA no? That means I won’t be able to get the medical done anywhere in EU.
I know that ATC is rewarding and so, but it wasn’t what I was planning for, it’s not easy to abandon the idea and move on..
