You can be exempted from the training requirement for commercial pilots if you hold an ICAO third-country airline transport pilot license (ATPL) with a valid type rating for the ATPL examination.

However, you can be exempted from the requirement to complete theoretical and practical training if you hold an ICAO third-country airline transport pilot license (ATPL) with a valid type rating for the ATPL examination.

You need a permit for this, which you apply for at the LBA.
