An unrestricted class 1 EASA is certainly not an unrestricted class 1 GCAA medical. It’s quite common to have restrictions on a GCAA medical here and not on your one back home.
in the context of those with restrictions often getting the boot or at best scraping back , I’d be very cautious .
the medical in ek has terminated many pilots careers who otherwise would have enjoyed long careers back home . Remember your on your own in ek!
