What does the Namibian guys do

Has anybody had any success in organizing such permits?

I understand that this is not always enforced, but dont want unnecessary issues at a border

Henk i have only dealt with Namibia and they where very efficient.Made the payment and fax through the forms and got a call back in 2 hours

one more thing to add to my to-do list for the Namib trip ... :)

Here's the form to be completed for Namibia. Also banking details and fax number. You can also email lineekela@ncc.org.na

Does this apply for VHF as well?

I am visiting Mozambique over this month and enquire about the temporary permit to use my VHF radio in your country. We Will be visiting for 1 week and require your inputs.
How do I go about arranging this permit and what are the cost involved

Regards

Henk van der Walt

and received this reply this morning:

Dear Sr;

Mobile station will cost 1372.38MT
hand-held will cost 686.19MT

Before this step you have to get the declaration of importation, contact fjunior@incm.gov.mz

Best regards

luis Cumaio

So I requested the declaration of importation and hope to receive this asap. At least now I have made contact with these guys in Mozambique

You're getting there! Thanks for the heads up, will be following this with interest.

Is the old form still in use as set out here (above in this thread) or is there a new one ?
