LAS,
Understand that the EASA requirements are defacto trade/employment protection, nothing to do with air safety. For a low time pilot, it will be really quite expensive to jump through all the considerable number of hoops of fire.
Once you get the hours, get yourself an FAA ATR, a very commons sense and economical (in time and $$$) process, then you have a license that is recognised just about anywhere, other than Australia (unless you are looking for a CASA job) and EASALand.
Tootle pip!!
