Does my PPL need to be checked again when I move to another country?
You have to take your logbook and your license to civil aviation of that country and then they will request a confirmation from the country that you have got your license from to be sure that if your license is still valid. After confirmation you have to join any ATO and undergo flight and ground training on the plane category that you have your licensee on (You might not need it but they must are the one who ask for an examiner for you and you can't apply by yourself) and then you must do the oral exam and also a flight test on your single engine type.Remember for converting any license, only your flight hours will be accepted and some of your exams and not your ppl flight test.In some countries you must also do 4 exams which mostly are Nav,Met,Hp,and Law but in some other countries can be only Law . It is depend to the rules of the country that you are willing to get you license new from .For us to EU you must only do the ppl law exam. All this Rules applied for a valid ppl license .Good Luck
