Don't know much about this, but will give a little of what I do know.

If you fly from the US to a foreign country you must use the complete N number,
including the N part.  For example here I fly '737 Alpha Zulu'.  If I 
where to go to a foreign country I would have to ID as 'November 737 Alpha
Zulu'.  Be sure to get proper government clearances first, from all 
countries involved.

If going to the foreign country and wanting to fly while there, the easiest
thing would be to contact the embassy or consulate for that country before
leaving and ask about it.  The AOPA, if you are a member, may also have some 
advise.  Then when you arrive I would suggest contacting a local FBO or
flying club about getting in some time.  But keep in mind that it may be
much more expensive than here.  Many countries have user fees, which we 
narrowly avoided in the last year.
