Intro: About a year and a half ago I was looking for information on the
Philippines and I have since gotten my license and am on the air here so I will
pass along what I know of the processes.

Paperwork needed:
- You need the 3 forms I have enclosed filled out (appl forms). You also need 4
copies each of:
- Original Amateur Radio license
- Passport
- Visa
- ID pictures; 2 each 1X1, 2 each 2X2
- Model and S/N (serial number) of transceiver. (They may want to see the
radio)
- Original sales receipt for the radio. If you do not have one, get a receipt
that looks official. NTC wants to make sure you are not operating an illegally
smuggled radio. Your operating permit will list the S/N of the radio you are
allowed to operate and the emission you are allowed to use.
- A certificate of good moral character. You can get this ONLY from the U.S.

The best way to get a license:
First of all you will need to apply in person at the regional office in the
region you intend to operate from. It may be possible to get one otherwise but
I was told no by the Batangas Regional Director. I do not have a list of
addresses but the Philippine Amateur Radio Association in
Reciprocal applies at least to K, VE, JA, DL (more details will be added when
available)
Price:
The fee for the license is under $10.00 depending on the exchange rate. It is
good for a year and is renewable.
Special calls:
How long before you can operate?
It took 2 weeks to get my license.
License restrictions:
Customs:
You need license to import your rigs into the country

The
information given is WAY out of date. PARA is now the only active
representative in getting the DU reciprocal, they are very good at what they do
and they are very fast. Some of the information, for example from 2005, says
