Probably not much different, most of the world just takes FAA standards and copy pastes. Various regulations and airspace rules are slightly different. Flight training in the USA is so much cheaper, people come from around the world to train in Florida and just convert their FAA pilot certificate to a JAA or whatever local authority they fall under.

As long as your country falls under ICAO, you can fly pretty much anywhere, you just need to do some research on what rules might be different like airspace, etc.
