I can only speak for the USA but yes, you can.

Either upon first application:

file paperwork for the 61.75 (certificate based on) application
take the "Foreign Pilot Instrument written test"
you will be issued a PPL/IR
the validated IR will NOT carry over to a stand-alone FAA CPL


At a later stage if you already hold the 61.75 validated certificate:

file paperwork for a new validation application
take the "Foreign Pilot Instrument written test"
you will be issued a new certificate


Common confusion: do not take the regular instrument written test, even though they are almost identical.
Written tests can be done in Farnborough or Le Bourget
