Unfortunately I'm afraid there isn't ...

I therefore strongly advocate to keep an EASA rating valid on your EASA license at all times; as a minimum do it every 3 years (actually just before 3 years).

More than 3 years of an expired rating requires you to do the full type rating again, while before you normally get away with one training sim and then the proficiency check. Looking over a three year period it becomes the cheapest option if you are not using the EASA license during that time.

The above should not cost you more than about 1000GBP/1200EUR per year; cheap insurance for most.
