but there's no way you'll get through the JAA skill tests with no training. Most converting IRs in the UK need more than 15hrs to get upto scratch, so the Swiss 0hrs requirement is something of a moot point.
I agree it is unlikely to get it done without any training in JAR land, but if you're well prepared and had a good IR instructor I am confident it can be done in less than 15hrs. Not saying I can, just confident I will

Do anyone here have experience to convert FAA ME/IR to JAA ME/IR??
I'm just in the process of doing that. It is painful (as you need to get all JAA ATPL theoretical exams, a radiotelephony license, etc.), and expensive, but the math still works out in the end. Easily!

(cost here is approx.150euro/Hr with Seneca)
Those were the days! Cheapest Seneca I found in Euroland (Switzerland) is 370/hr
