3. For someone already holding a foreign license, can the wait period of 9 months (before taking the practical test) be waived?
Yes

If you don't mind, do you happen to have any official source for this? Or their website where I can find it? I looked up goca.be and https://mobilit.belgium.be/fr/circulati … re_belges, but nothing.

At the risk of sounding like a nervous wreck, need to ask, how difficult is the theory test?

Theory test is not difficult in my opinion but prepare well before the test and take multiple practice tests online.

You just need to think a bit logical before answering and sometimes there are new questions with new situations (apart from the ones which you will see in practice exams) asked in exam.

There are some questions classified as major ones. If you make mistakes with that it costs you -5 points. So you should pay extra attention to it. And you will never know if the questions is of -5 or -1 during the exam.

It's easy to crack with good preparation ! Good luck !
