The French Republic shares a reciprocal licensing agreement with the United States.
Effective May, 1998, no licensing is required for visits of less than 3 months. To operate, you would sign "F/Your Call Here/p" (example F/KC1J/p).
Permits are issued for periods of 3 months for short term visitors, or 1 year for residents. Only residents are eligible for full French call signs, such as FD1XYZ, while short term visitors sign F/W1AW, FP/W1AW, etc.
Complete for following application forms, and send them together with a photocopy of your FCC license to the following address:
CGR
BP 61
94371 Sucy en Brie Cedex
France
The 3 month license takes about 2 weeks to obtain. The 1 year license takes about 60 days because of a police check that must be done.
CGR stands for Centre de Gestion des Radiocommnications and BP for Boite Postale (PO Box). Its telephone number is +33 (1) 45.95.33.69
The fee is 100 French francs for a 3 month permit or 300 francs for a resident applying for a 1 year license. It must be paid in advance by international money order, made out to Tresor Public. Enclose a photocopy of the receipt with your applications. You may also enclose a bank check drawn on a bank that does business in France.
This procedure should also be followed in applying for authorization to operate in these French overseas departments: Corsica (TK), Guadeloupe (FG), Mayotte (FH), Martinique (FM), St. Pierre & Miguelon (FP), Reunion (FR), French Guiana (FY). Authorization for operating in French Polynesia (FO) or New Caledonia (FK), both French territories are issued by the respective local governments.
Additional information for operating in France can be found on the Internet.

IMPORTANT: You must have an interpreter or speak French. They do not
speak or read English.
Correspondence must be in French also.
Personal notes from David Rosenthal, N6TST,
February 2002:
Proceed to the High
Commissioners Office in Papeete and ask for Mr. Sylvain Affinito (he was there
in February 2002) in the office of the Celle PTT. He will examine your paperwork and have you fill out a form applying
for your temporary permit. They should
issue you an FO0 license either on the spot or by the next business day since
the documents have to be stamped and signed by an approving official. This license will be good for 90 days, which
is the maximum time a visitor may stay in French Polynesia. There is no charge for the license.
Note that CEPT Class 2
licenses, are NOT
authorized in French Polynesia, i.e., there is no equivalent to a "codeless
Tech" license there.
For Maritime mobiles sailing
into French waters you must have a valid license to operate within the
territory. Upon making your first port of call, simply call the PTT office with
the above information plus the usual boat info. Your license can be
preprocessed and if you call back the next day he will give you your call
letters and you can pick up your license when you reach Tahiti.
Phone number for this PTT is
46-86-32, the fax is 46-86-33
Phone cards are now needed to
access pay telephones and these cards are available at most stores. They cost XPF 1,000 (about US$8) but you can
also use a major credit card in the phone.
The correct Celle PTT office
is HARD to find in Papeete (there are several) and few people know anything
about amateur radio. Streets in French
Polynesia are poorly marked and address numbers virtually unknown. Basic maps, however, are available free from
tourist brochure displays located in most stores. I've also included my own map showing the exact location of the
Celle PTT office.
Follow Avenue Bruat inland to
where it ends at the entrance of the Gendarmarie, a large police compound. Turn left before entering the Gendarmarie
gate and follow the small street about 100 feet or so where you'll find a
driveway entrance to what appears to be a two-story apartment building. The Celle PTT office is the last one on the
ground floor and has a blue sign with white script lettering above the door
reading "Cellule des Postes et Télécommunications."
Thanks to David Rosenthal, N6TST for this update.
Additional comments: "Having experienced considerable difficulty locating the PTT office in Papeete (Tahiti), I added correct street directions to find the right building as well as producing a map graphic which I included as a JPEG with this message. This map, though small, can printed out and easily matched to many readily available free maps on the island. Perhaps you could paste it into the page as well since that might be the best way for folks to find their way to the office.
Anyway, I hope you find this helpful and, if I can answer any questions or provide more information, please feel free to contact me either via e-mail or at 760 939-5467."

They have an excellent club station in Nuuk, OX3NUK. If you wish to operate the station, you should get hold of the club president, Peter OX2XR.

All the official documentation is in Danish and Greenlandic. If you will be residing in Greenland you may apply for a regular Greenlandic permit/callsign.

The present charge for issuing a permit is 175,00 Dkr. and the annual fee is 125,00 Dkr. which will be reduced for any portion of a year.

FROM: Mike Lonneke, HA/W0YR, Budapest
TO: ARRL Foreign Licensing Info
RE: Modifications in the information for HUNGARY.
Date: April 29, 1998
I live and work in Hungary and have had a license here since April of 1996. It is not difficult for a foreign amateur to obtain a license here. There is no reciprocal licensing with the U.S. We hope the CEPT agreement will kick in soon.
Here is the text of the letter I have used to obtain and renew my HA license. The license period is 90 days and it can be renewed with another letter of application.

Dear Sir,
I respectfully request that you issue to me a temporary license for the operation of an Amateur Radio station during my visit to Hungary.
I attach a copy of my present USA Amateur Radio license and a copy of my USA passport identification page.

DATE OF EXPIRATION:
During my stay in Hungary, the following information will apply:

I attach a tax stamp for HUF 1000.
Please post the license to the address below.
YOUR ADDRESS, ETC.
Respectfully,
The license requires a 1000 forint tax stamp to be supplied with the letter of application.
DO NOT SEND MONEY OR A MONEY ORDER TO THE LICENSING AGENCY. They only accept Hungarian Tax Stamps
At this writing (May 1, 1998) 1,000 forints is around $5 USD. If you will send me a check for $6.50 with a self addressed envelope (no stamp), I will get a tax stamp and return it to you by air mail. The mail takes at least 10 days each way so give yourself about two months leeway. Of course you can always wait until you get here and go buy a tax stamp at a post office, then try to find the licensing office and take the stamp there and pick up your license.
Mail check for USD $6.50 and self-addressed envelope (no stamp) to:
