Hi mate.

I did a few years ago, basically you need at least 500 hours on type and being current on the ICAO, with a certificate of course, ask your local Authority how do they want and send them a test document, when they say yes, that will be acceptable go and got it stamp, then you must be current with you Multi engine and IR in the EASA licence, then after you will be asked to do a check on the sim with a TRE, submit all the documents together and that should be enough.

I did a few years ago with my licence and depending the country the stamp requirements are different, that´s why I highly recommend you to check all the details carefully with your local authority.

I just did it a few weeks ago. If you normally deal with the UK CAA, then if you call Flight crew Licensing they will tell you specifically what you need to do.

What I did was as follows:

1. A 3 hour Skills test.
2. With the skills test paperwork, 500 hours+ on type in my logbook, the foreign License with type rating and current OPC, I went to CAA house at Gatwick, arrived at 7am and they had it on my EASA License by 9.30am

Kungfu had a pleasant experience by the sound of it. Trust me when I say all items listed in the link I provided have to be covered.
It maybe that the training organisation is up to speed on what the UK CAA want and may have some sort of blanket authorisation in place which will ease the process, if they do not you will need to make sure the CAA has OK'd the test, otherwise you will do it again.
