No, it's not in the bathroom. Article 100

I thought with in 6 feet of any sink.

I'm sure others will chime in here. I think the door is the kicker.

Yes, but it isn't in the room that the sink is in.

I think a bathroom sink could still be considered a "utility sink", so if a 6' cord can reach the edge of the sink from a receptacle, GFCI would still be required per 210.8 (7).

"Area" is in the definition of a bathroom, not "Room" or "Door".

Other than dwelling unit

Other than dwelling unit

210.8 (B) (5) deals with other than dwelling unit that requires the GFI with in 6' of a sink. And as was stated before if its not in the same area its not part of that area.(other than maybe a few exceptions) And so should not be required
