You need to pass a class 1 EASA medical and successfully pass the 14 ATPL exams but you can self certify for the exams since you already hold an ICAO ATP.

You'll also have to take a skills test on an aircraft that you already typed in if it is a multipilot airplane and you have over 500hrs in type.
