I now see your point and I apologise for being terse. Having gone through a number of license conversions myself, I know how laborious the process can be. It seems like every licensing authority around the world does not wish to trust the one your license is based on, and will ask you to comply with their own set of rules and standards.
The license conversion process is more so cumbersome for low hour pilots; those with high hours and a thawed ATPL are usually given alot of dispensation. I don't know what your circumstances are but I wish you all the best in getting the authorities to hear you out. It's never worked for me in the past and I've always had to comply with the regulations that apply. My only word of advice when you meet with them is to smile a lot, and don't be too demanding. My experience in dealing with bureaucrats in less developed countries is that they take great pleasure in exercising their authority, even more so, when they are challenged. Good luck.
