FAQs
Any student in full-time study at a recognised educational institution, with proof of enrolment. It is not limited to students studying abroad — you can hold one while studying in Nepal and use it when you travel.
A card runs for up to sixteen months from issue, expiring at the end of December of the following academic year. When you renew, you provide fresh proof that you are still enrolled.
In more than 130 countries, across travel, food, retail, technology and lifestyle partners. The app lists what is available near you, which is more useful than the global figure — offers are concentrated in student cities.

Apply directly through isic.org with your proof of enrolment, a passport-style photo and identification. The fee and the accepted documents vary by country. We help you check eligibility and prepare the documents before you apply.
