Amateur Radio Authorizations for Foreign Citizens
Foreign radio amateurs, including Polish citizens permanently residing abroad, who hold a valid amateur radio licence or other valid amateur radio operating authorisation issued in their country of residence may operate an amateur station in Poland during a temporary stay not exceeding 90 days, without obtaining a separate Polish amateur radio authorisation.
They must comply with the ITU Radio Regulations, applicable international agreements, CEPT Recommendation T/R 61-01 and the regulations in force in Poland, including national frequency allocations and technical operating conditions. When operating under a CEPT Radio Amateur Licence, they must use their national call sign preceded by an appropriate Polish prefix — HF, SN, SO, SQ, SP or 3Z — separated by “/”.
