well, to my knowledge it's not possible to get an EASA approved TR outside the EU or EASA zone.
Not true, the post you link to was when JAA was in effect which ceased to exist on June 30th 2009.
There are several organisations approved outside Europe to do EASA training (and were also approved under JAA) directly by EASA and also several by other authorities such as Pan Am in Miami.
EASA maintains it's list at :
EASA - FCL Organisations Approvals
If you require base training (not everyone does) then this can be done anywhere where you can rent the aircraft
