What kind of currency are you talking about? If it's landing or instrument currency, you can log it in the aircraft you normally fly- registration doesn't matter. No need to wait for sim training.

As far as I'm aware to keep your 'type rating' current you would have to be tested in a FAA sim by an FAA check captain. There is also a training requirement as well as a check. A LPC for a JAR license would not count to keeping an FAA rating valid.

There are no doubt FAR 142 facilities in Europe. If you receive a proficiency check from a person authorized by the FAA to give that check, then you are good to go.
But instead of betting your ticket on the opinions of strangers on a forum, why not check the faa.gov website and get the information from the front end of the horse. You should find a list of not only persons authorized to give the PC, but also facilities approved for the event.
Good luck and enjoy the flying in Europe!

I think you are refering to 61.58, a PIC proficiency check for an aircraft that requires more than one pilot or is turbo-jet powered. 61.58 says within the last 12 months you must have a PC in an aircraft requiring more than one pilot and within the last 24 months you must have a PC in that type aircraft. So if you are flying a Lear and Gulfstream you could have a PC in one type and the next year in the other type.
It goes on to say the PC must be given by an authorized instructor, which means either a CFI with that type rating or a person on staff at a 142 school approved to give the check. Since you are saying sim, you are talking about a 142 school. As jr51xx said, if you can find a 142 school in Europe (or anywhere), you are covered.
