WP flies an EASA-reg, he wants to move to N-reg when upgrading.
Similar issues to here.
The 3 year factor is gone – at least in the UK, IIRC.
I think the answer to the OP is: 1 day. IOW, within the validity, you can revalidate with a FI or CRI, if you go 1 day over the 2 year period you have to fly with an FE.
having read the FAA’s Collins and Krausz interpretations, I wonder whether the holder of a §61.75 certificate needs to maintain his or her corresponding EASA ratings at all?
There is the EASA FCL attack on N-regs which aims to force European based pilots to maintain EASA papers, but if your country has derogated from that, then perhaps not.

I believe not. EASA ratings are not automatically valid on the 61.75 certificate, so way should you need them at all?
Can one add a standalone FAA SEL rating to a 61.75? my understanding yes

follow the FAA‘s lead, i.e. revalidate with an instructor with no arbitrary time limit for doing so.
They did – they (EASA) came up with the LAPL. But it’s a mess with two distinctly different renewal/revalidation philosophies – LAPL vs SEP/PPL.
