The FIA has confirmed the following:
- The obligation to be a holder of an international licence for any foreign driver or competitor participating in a national Karting Event entered on the calendar of an ASN, for which the said ASN authorises foreign participation
- The obligation for the licence holders entered in a national event to have obtained the authorisation of their own ASN
- Foreign competitors and drivers cannot gain points in the rankings of national Championships and Series that they take part in

In practice this means that for outside the EU a driver must have an International licence, so a Junior must be at minimum in year of 13th birthday. And the event must be on the NEARP list for foreign participation. For inside the EU they can only race cross border with written permission of their ASN, that could mean only those with EU flag on their licence for professional drivers, and MSA requires this to be a professional driver -
Competing Abroard

I have been invited to compete within Europe, is my licence valid?
Since the FIA made changes to competing with the EU, MSA licence holders of National ‘A’ status and above can now only compete in events which are inscribed on the FIA Calendar as a National Event with Authorised Foreign Participation (NEAFP). Obviously your licence will need to be valid for the discipline of event which you wish to compete.
Only those competitors who have attained the Professional endorsement are able to compete freely within the EU at National Events so long as those events have been inscribed on the individual country’s National calendar. You will be subject to the National regulations of the country where you are competing.
Unfortunately National ‘B’ licences and below are endorsed (not EU) and are therefore NOT valid, irrespective of discipline.

How do I apply for a Professional Endorsement?
Professional Endorsements can be applied for at the time of renewal of your Competition Licence. You are required to forward official confirmation from a professionally qualified accountant that you have declared to the British fiscal authority monies earned through your participation, as a competitor, in motor sport, during the preceding financial year.
This confirmation is usually issued on official letter head and is forwarded together with your completed Competition Licence application and payment.
Upon approval of the endorsement your licence will be issued with the EU flag and endorsed “Professional”.
