The training is straight forward and often not even required. Flight training is required only in case of the minimum requirements are not met. 

The ICAO to EASA instrument rating conversion is followed by the IR Skill test with EASA Instrument Rating Examiner.  The validity of the EASA Instrument Rating is 1 year. To revalidate your Instrument Rating you need to comply with FCL.625.IR(b).

IFR PIC

To be qualified for the ICAO to EASA instrument rating you have to have at least of 50 hours of PIC IFR experience. That simply means you have to gain this experience by flying IFR flights abroad and exercising the privileges of your ICAO license abroad. Not to forget to mention very important information. Should you are transferring also the class rating, you have to have the experience of at least 100 hours as PIC on the particular class. Otherwise you would need to attend full EASA class rating training course for that particular class rating.
