The rules are usually fairly universal even if not universally enforced. Couple of times I have had work done on my vehicle that was in the country on a TVIP and both times the mechanic insisted I come with him on the test drive ONLY because he said he would be in big trouble if caught in it on his own.
The tip has room for an owner and one or two authorised drivers. One of those named people must be in the vehicle any time it is on the road - or else.
I think that is the do-no-harm position to take - as stated by Micheal
However, if there is a legal document - "poder" in south america, Power of attorney in western countries drawn up by the owner in favour of another person, then that is usually sufficient to satisfy authorities PROVIDED the poder is recognised and that isn't always the case in countries other than the one it was signed in. Never cut and dried.
