It looks like Norway does not make the VFR/IFR distinction for LP. When I got my EASA IR I kept my previous LPE (level 6 )
Sweden does not make the distinction.
IIRC in the Czech Republic there are actually three English exams. First one is at the telecommunications authority to get a radiotelephony operator’s licence (there is a limited version that doesn’t require English). AFAIK this doesn’t satisfy anything as far as Part-FCL is concerned. Second one is meant to satisfy FCL.055(a). And third one is meant to satisfy FCL.055(d) and is built upon the second one so it satisfies FCL.055(a) as well. It’s recommended for everyone (that means even VFR-only folk) to do the full monty (take the third instead of the second).
So it’s not VFR and IFR, it’s VFR and VFR+IFR (or general and general+IR). I’m not aware of any crediting.
No distinction in Hungary.
No LP distinction between VFR and IFR in Switzerland.
In Poland I’ve been asked if I want the VFR or IFR test, as it turned out both give the same LP entry in the license, the distinction is more of a “how would you rather be tested”.
No distinction in Ireland.
