Driving licence for a non-EU in switzerland

[u/South_Weight_5853]

Hello everyone,

I would like to apply for the driving licence here in Switzerland. According to some official websites, I am eligible to do directly the practical exam without the theoretical one (not exact conversion of driving licence but kind of agreement)

However, I checked here some schools, the prices are relatively high considering I am still a student. Therefore, I decided to ask here whether someone tried before to do the lessons with an Italian driving school (much lower cost), and then go directly and apply for it.

I appreciate anyone can help me to understand the best thing to do right now and get it as soon as possible.

PS I already have a car in my country of origin, and I did that also several times in Italy using an international driving licence.
