-======UK Exams from Overseas======
- \\
-=== If I live in a different country, can I take the UK amateur radio exams? ===
-Yes anybody can take the UK amateur radio exams from any country.
-You can take the exams online and book the exams on the RSGB website.  There are 3 levels of Licence, Foundation, Intermediate and Full.
-=== Can I operate in the UK if I already have a licence elsewhere? ===
-If you are temporarily visiting the UK you may be able to operate in the UK using your existing Licence. CEPT T/R 61-01. For operating in the UK longer-term you may be able to show your existing amateur Licence to Ofcom to get a UK Licence. (It depends on what type of Licence you have).
-=== How do I get a HAREC Certificate? ===
-Once you pass the UK Full exam you will be sent a HAREC certificate in the same envelope as the Full pass certificate.  Someone with a HAREC should be able to get an amateur radio Licence in other participating countries. CEPT Recommendation T/R 61-02.
-=== Do I need a UK Address? ===
-You do not need a UK address to take the UK exams. RSGB will happily send certificates abroad. You can use a local address (outside the UK), to apply for a UK callsign once you have passed the exam.
-**Please Note** that to apply for a UK amateur radio licence you will need a UK main station address to qualify.
-You don’t have to live at the address, and you don’t need to have any right to live in or even enter the UK.
-**You do not need a UK address or callsign to get a HAREC** certificate. It is sent in the same envelope as the Full pass certificate.
