I can't remember having ever been asked for my medical certificate, while in a foreign country. Not even during EASA ramp checks. Someone might have asked for it, but I don't recall.
I've also never been asked for evidence of my yellow fever vaccine, or my restricted radiotelephoneoperators permit (FCC license). Somewhere might have asked to see my pilot certificate, but I don't recall that offhand, either.
I can't speak for antarctica; I haven't been there. Everywhere else, however, it hasn't come up (or if it did, it wasn't memorable).

Two pilot crew required for mid size jet, Part 91 only. Last time went for a first class last April had to jump through a bunch of hoops for FAA requested documents by the time I got the medical was only good for two months since it goes by the applied date not the issue date. So if can do it with a second prefer not to push it.
Thanks
Thanks

ICAO first Class Medical Brief:
ICAO designates three classes of medical assessments:
· Class 1 for ATPL and CPL-holders
· Class 2 for PPL-holders
· Class 3 for ATC license holders.
This classification is used world-wide. The FAA has chosen to number the US medical classes differently, causing considerable confusion within states (countries) evaluating, medicals from U.S. pilots. The US first class and second class medical certificates correspond to ICAO Class 1 Medical Assessment. However, even though a US first and second class medical certificate is the equivalent of an ICAO class 1 assessment, in some ICAO countries it may be easier for you to carry a US first class medical certificate than to explain to an inspector (in a foreign language) that a US second class equals an ICAO Class 1 from the rest of the world.
A US first class and second class medical certificate is the same as an ICAO Class 1 Medical Assessment. For More Information regarding these medical standards, a point of contact within ICAO is: Dr. Claus Curdt-Christiansen, MD, DAvMed Chief of Aviation Medicine Section ICAO - Montreal
