Hi Jakob
I've split your question from the thread in which it was posted - in my opinion, it deserves a whole new thread.

My advice:
convert your EU licence ASAP; as summarised in the other thread, for you it is straightforwards - get the form for the licence, get a form for a learner licence, get the eye test and stamp from any optician, get a colour photo, turn up at the STVA and submit the forms. You'll get a photocard licence and a paper learner licence in the post a few days later.

Don't forget to take passport, permit and something confirming your address, just in case.

Next ..... learn to ride a bike.
You will have to:

• do a
• Grundschulung - 4 hours in a classroom and on private land with cones.
• do 2 x 2 hours accompanied by an instructor
• your licence will then be extended - you get just over a year in total to do the test (form to apply for test comes with the learner licence)

Do you speak German?
Also - I do recommend you do the A licence/test (if you're over 25) so that you're not limited to under 33kw power....
