In the USA you have to renew the permit to fly every year (annual inspection) and every three years (registration). Experimentals that are not homebuilts (exhibition and racing) also have to renew the list of places you intend to operate every year and file it with the FAA for approval. Your homebuilt could have such limits placed on it but that is not typical once you fly off the initial 50 hours. As far as other countries it is country by country. Canada, the Bahamas and the BVI have permissive blanket policies. Other places do not. The places in Europe that required annual permits likely do so for US Experimentals too.

I copied the text below form a post in the D= iamond Aviators Forums by a fellow who lives in Switzerland and is based at= LSGL (Lausanne Blecheret Airport, Suisse).

"The experimental world is fascinating, and I would have taken the plu= nge long ago. Now listen to this sad news:

Here in Europe, Experimental means you have to renew the permit to fly EVER= Y YEAR, for EVERY COUNTRY you intend to visit. And forget about IFR or even= night VFR...

Lucky americans.."

I had no idea that the rules in Europe on experimentals is so onerous. So I= assume there aren=E2=80=99t many Lancairs based in Europe.
