Radio amateurs, citizens of a country - member or the Conference of Europe for Post-offices and Telecommunications (CEPT) - who possess a valid radio amateur license, which brings written evidence that it is issued according to the constitution T/R 61-01 of CEPT, have the right to operate their amateur radio stations as "portable" and "mobile" ( not a fixed station ) while their visit in Greece without having to issue a Greek license. The operation is according to the category of their radio amateur licenses. These "mobile" or "portable" stations can be powered from main power on the temporary place of stay (hotels, guest rooms etc).
If stay is extended beyond 6 months it has to be declared at the Ministry of Transport and Communications and a special permit
must be granted.

Greek radio amateur license" from the Ministry of
Communications is granted. His call will be of SV0-XXX
type.
