The FCC, to take just one example, has no exclusive power
to regulate the behaviour of non-USA nationals, licensed
or otherwise, located outside its jurisdiction other than,
possibly, to prohibit the remote-control of a transmitter
located within its jurisdiction.

Do any such arrangements exist? I'm not aware of any.

While this may apply in the USA, it does not generally
apply elsewhere.

It's not possible under CEPT. This was confirmed at
the IARU Region 1 Conference, Sun City, South Africa,
August 2011 - Recommendation SC11_C4_07 (approved)
which stated
"It should be noted that operation under the CEPT T/R 61-01
arrangement is quite specific. There is a requirement that
the person wishing to transmit must be actually visiting
that country. In other words the person needs to be
physically present in the country to use the call sign
'Country Prefix / home call sign'. Thus, this precludes
remote operation of a transmitter in a remote station from
outside the country with the T/R 61-01 licence."
It seems to me that remote-control activities which play
fast and loose with national or international regulations
are unlikely to be either authorized or licensed.
