Intro: It is not difficult for a foreign amateur to obtain a license
here.

Hungarian National Communications Authority (NHH),
Ostrum u 23-25,

tel. +36 1 457 7100 / 7488
fax. +36 1 356 5520
Paperwork needed:
- a copy of my present Amateur Radio license
- a copy of my passport identification page
- international money order payable to NHH
The best way to get a license:
Here in Hungary the licensing agency requires tax stamps to be supplied with
the application, which could be purchased at any post office. That is, you go
to a post office and purchase 2,200 ft. worth
of tax stamps and those are used to pay the fee. Outside, I should think an
international money order for 2,200 ft. should
suffice, made payable to: NHH or equivalent
to the FCC.
Price:
The license costs 2,200 Hungarian forints
which, at the current exchange rate of 180 ft/ dollar equals about $ xx.xx
