If you are a citizen of one of these countries and a licensed amateur, you can apply for a reciprocal operating license to obtain equivalent privileges with a Thai license and callsign, depending on the agreement. A reciprocal licensee is normally issued with a callsign in the series HS0Zxx and the license lasts for five years and renewable.
