Well done, thanks for the effort @juze 👏🏻Interestingly enough, in all these years and trips, the only time the status of my steed as a homebuilt was ever questioned was at Germany’s Helgoland EDXH. I since then carry that LBA Allgemeinerlaubnis für Einflüge Ausländischer Selbstbau-Luftfahrzeuge in das Gebiet der Bundesrepublik Deutschland found in GEN 1-17 of the AIP.
My steed was ramp checked in Stadtlohn, the inspectors of the BR just wanted to see the permit to check it’s validity plus other docs such as insurance, radio licence as well as my licence / medical but nothing else concerning the legality for it being there……..

What Germany does allow is a foreign reg homebuilt to be based there, for 180 days, and then you can renew for another 180 days, etc. VFR only.
That particular limitation concerning basing an homebuilt only applies to (eg) N registered homebuilts. For homebuilts registered in an ECAC state, there are no limitations to how long the aircraft is based there – this was confirmed to me by the owner of an Austrian registered RV9, the owner of a Dutch registered Alpi Pioneer 400 as well as the BR inspectors…..
Many thanks for all the contributions. List ist now up to date. Does anybody have experience with: Bosnia & Herzegovina, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Iceland, Latvia, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro or Portugal?
