The Amateur
Radio licensing laws have recently changed here, but it is still relatively
simple to get a license. I can email you or anyone the application form. It was
emailed to me and the form is in both Albanian and English. The contact person
is:
Esmeralda Dervishi
Specialiste - Drejtoria e Liçencimit
Autoriteti i Komunikimeve Elektronike dhe Postare (AKEP)
Adresa: Rruga "Reshit Çollaku", nr. 43, Tirane
Tel: 00355 4 2262224
Fax: 00355 4 2259106
She can send a form that can be filled out online, but it must be faxed or
emailed back to her with a signature. Americans also have to present a copy of
their FCC license, probably an Extra Class license, as well as their passport.
The office is difficult to find, and over the past five years they have moved
it multiple times. You are welcome to list me as a reference; I will be more
than happy to help someone get licensed here.
The "CEPT" (kinda) license here lasts for 3 months and costs 1000
Lek, or about $10. It usually has a 1-2 week turn around; I now file for my
next application when I pick up my license, just to keep ahead.
Hope this is helpful to someone. Thanks for all of the services ARRL provides!
Sincerely,
ZA/NE5O Austin

I have been in ZA this summer and it was easy to optain a license but I
contacted completely other people...... I think some things have changed but
this is my info:

You can not get a license in advance but when you are in Tirana it takes about
1 day. No special call's, except for special project's like the Albanian
Goodwill Project in 2003. You need to use ZA/ homecall.
