I am looking into doing something similar albeit with a UK issued EASA licence.
Whopity, is it not the case that cross crediting is valid only for the revalidation of an IR? I can see in your quoted text it does say revalidation or renewal, although any reference I find shows revalidation only.

If you are UK based, with a professional licence, then the UK CAA considers all UK professional licences to have embedded privileges of the IMC / IR(R) rating. So if that would deliver what you actually want - the ability to route IMC/IFR and take approaches whilst flying privately, then all you need is to pay your £40 (or whatever it is at the moment) to have a UK CPL or ATPL issued, if you haven't got one already. Not as powerful as a full IR of-course, but if it meets your needs, a very cheap fix (and probably worth doing anyhow, even if you do get a full SE-IR.

Genghis, are you able to provide a reference for a professional licence having an embeded IR(R) and does this then mean it has no expiry and require no revalidation?
Many thanks chaps!
