 At the present time there is no formal reciprocal agreement for holders of UK Foundation and it appears Ofcom has not been asked to sign up to CEPT Novice ECC/REC/05(06) for Intermediate holders, however, both Foundation and Intermediate can obatin permission to operate simply by emailing the national regulator giving date of your planned visit and attaching a PDF of the three page licence document (they do **not** need the separate lengthy T&C document).
-Since 2003 UK Foundation holders have successfully obtained permission to operate in many countries around the world.  If granted permission you usually identify using that country's short-term call sign prefix followed by your core UK call sign, e.g. DL/M7ZZZ, unless the national regulator has told you otherwise.  Those amateurs still holding an Intermediate "2" callsign must include the UK Regional Secondary identifier when operating abroad e.g. DL/2J0ZZZ.
