8. Are there any other licensing or permit requirements for telecommunications operations in the Kyrgyz Republic?

Yes. In addition to the license for telecommunications, telecommunications providers must also obtain a number of other permits, certificates and licenses related to their specific operations.

A company wishing to import and/or export cryptographic equipment or software must also obtain the license for import of cryptographic equipment. This license coverts both the importation and use of temporary or permanent cryptographic products.

Permits are also required to use the radio frequency spectrum, codes (prefixes) and phone numbers, and to import telecommunication equipment.

Numerous certification requirements are also in place for any equipment producing radio frequency radiation or high frequency electromagnetic waves.

All licenses, permits and certificates are issued by the SAC KR. In addition, the SAС KR also registers telecommunication equipment and issues documentation proving their compliance with Kyrgyz standards.
