Regulation (EU) 2018/1065 regulates the automatic validation of EASA licenses. This should prevent problems with SAFA checks outside the EASA Member States. In ramp checks for example, pilots possessing ICAO-compliant licenses are no longer restrained to fly outside the EASA Member States with an EASA aircraft that is not HB-registered.
Switzerland is currently listed on the ICAO attachment. The format of the Swiss licenses is recently supplemented with the reference to the ICAO document. The updated licenses will not be released until the next license issue. A license fee will be charged to pilots wishing to have a new license before the regular issuance
