It requires, a type rating. A pass of either the HPA exam or an ATPL exam pass.
Addition of a type rating to a license requires 200hrs of flight time.
Insurance is an issue for any low hour pilot and 500hrs is low.
There are a few oddities. The Malibu for example. Requires a type rating but not HPA for the piston version. If you want to fly the Turbine you need the HPA and a type rating. If you have a piston type rating then it is only differences training at which point you will also get an SET rating.
The B200 is a full type rating plus the HPA/ATPL.
None of these machines are really VFR machines, the Malibu I fly at VFR levels consumes fuel faster than I can pour it in, yet at FL220 it is doing 220kts for 17GPH. So an IR is also going to be a requirement.
The thought about walking before you run comes to mind.....
