Claim 4:
5. An apparatus to be implemented in a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
a memory to store a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) associated with a non-3GPP inter-working function (N3IWF) for use to connect with a standalone non-public network (SNPN) in a first country; and
processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry to:
determine that the UE is located in a second country and connected to a visited public land mobile network (VPLMN);
determine a local requirement of whether the second country requires selection of N3IWF in the second country;
determine whether to connect to the SNPN if it is determined that the local requirement does require selection of the N3IWF in the second country; and
determine not to connect to the SNPN if it is determined that the local requirement does require selection of the N3IWF in the second country.
