Intro: If you have a foreign ham license, you may apply for a 3-month temporary licence. Upon approval by Jabatan Telekom Malaysia, licence will be issued with callsign 9M*/Homecall. See below.
Old info deleted.

Follow the instructions give on the following Web sites:

http://www.marts.org/hcall.html
Sabah Amateur Radio Society (9M6RAC)
Hillview Gardens Amateur Radio Club L I C E N S E

All seems to be going much easier in 9M6 and 9M8 than in 9M2, and especially no worries if you go to Hillview Gardens.

Maybe Sabah and Sarawak are more used to touristic and their exotic wishes like ham licenses! [comment by OH2MCN]

Copied from www.marts.org (info updated 29 June 2001): "Foreign visitors who are on a short stay in Malaysia and hold an equivalent 9M2 licence may apply for a temporary licence. Upon approval by Communication and Multimedia Commision the licence will be issued with callsign 9M2/Homecall."

Here some additional informations from a Dxpedition in March 1996: All Ham bands are allowed. Therefore we used only 100 watts we did not ask for maximum power regulations (should be 400 W PEP). The costs are 10 Malaysian Ringit (about 4 US Dollar) for a 3 month valid guest license. The permanent licence costs 36 Ringgit per year. If possible you should send the application for the license 6 month before you start. You really have to bring 2 references of local (9M8) amateurs.

I am everytimes able to give a lot of usefull hints if anybody is interested in a 9M8 operation.

73 and next time we will make something better

Hi! Thanks for your excellent licence information service! I have just managed to get a 9M2 licence after 7 weeks of trying and 5 visits in person to the
Communications and Media Commission. A complete application needs the following:-

  1. Copy of home licence
  2. Letter of Introduction from home radioSociety
  3. Letter of Introduction from MARTS (NB Letter of Introduction from 9M2 local was rejected)
  4. Sworn oath regarding secrecy
  5. Copy of passport details
  6. Completed form Application for Apparatus Assignment(s) (Amateur Service)
  7. Sketch of proposed antenna

I had to pay fees as follows:-

RM 60 Admin fee for new application, RM 31 for licence for 1 year. A 5 year licence is possible but seems not easy to get.

Useful contacts are as follows:-

MARTS Vice President is 9W2AC, Zool agzol@tm.net.my

CMC contact Rozaida rozaida@cmc.gov.my

NB 9M2xx type calls are not possible. It must be 9M2/Home call.

Best regards Ian 9M2/G3TMA

Hi Again de G3LIV.

I tried for my 9M2 license again in Jan 2002, Having had 12 week period cover for 2 previous years.

Time involved was many weeks again, But new application form has a box to tick if you want to apply for 5 YEAR COVER. Try to send 5 year application before the year in which you were covered for short period previously and they will wave the other paperwork and consider it just a renewal of old cover.
At least that what happened in my case. I did this in the FEB 2002. Paid up in full at same time. I was leaving mid MAY from UK. License never arrived till SEPTEMBER. 2002. All to late.

But I now have a FULL license for 5 Years. Cost was Total about £50/$75 for the application costs and 5 year cover.

It just takes OH so long. Nothing seems to speed the process up. My Hotel would not allow operation without the Paperwork being presented. I asked license dept for just a short letter of intent, but could not get any answer.


But at least its a start. Thanks for GOOD info on your pages.
