Conversion license to other country

Dear all,

I'm doing this thread because i'm looking for jobs abroad.
I notice that if you'd like to work abroad in all case you have to convert your license...
I would like to know for UAE, china, japan, afghanistan, russia, brasil marocco, malaysia:
-how long does it take to convert jaa or faa to country mentionned above?
-what are the document needed to make this conversion?
-What is the name of the organization which can do this conversion?
-How does it cost to make this conversion ?
-Do you think it is possible to make the conversion by yourself in advance to be reading if a job is available?

If you have any information for other country let us know...

In most countries you can fly with a six month endorsement of you own licence whilst you are getting a licence for the country that you are working in. Your employer will arrange all the details for this. If they cannot they are not worth working for.

Depends on the country. UAE, about 6 weeks while you learn a whole pile of dodgy questions and battle the immigration. Probably not much different in the others. Brazil did allow non-Brazilians in at one time, but that may have stopped.

-what are the document needed to make this conversion?

A licence. Would recommend you also speak the language.

-What is the name of the organization which can do this conversion?

It depends on the country. Check out the flying schools.

-How does it cost to make this conversion ?

See above.
