ESNcard for the New Academic Year

The card of the Erasmus Generation

Did you know that each year more than 150,000 international students get their ESNcard? But what is the ESNcard and what is it used for? 

Well, simply put, ESNcard is the membership card to the Erasmus Generation. A card that will carry the memories of your best times spent abroad with constant new experiences and lots of international friends. And a card that will grant you access to all ESN’s events and over 1500 discounts all around Europe! 

How do I get my ESNcard?

It’s simple. All you have to do is contact the closest local ESN section to your receiving institution and they will issue one for you.

To check which one is the closest local ESN section to the destination of your mobility, please check this site.

ESNcard.org does not distribute either online or offline ESNcards and therefore you always need to contact the ESN sections of your receiving institution.

What will I need to bring with me?

• A printed colour passport photo
• ID/passport
• A document proving your mobility status (such as a Learning Agreement, Training Agreement, Acceptance Letter, etc.)

Who can get the ESNcard?

You can get the ESNcard if you belong to one of the following groups:

• Erasmus+ students
• Erasmus+ trainees
• International incoming students or trainees on a mobility programme, other than Erasmus+
• International undergraduate or postgraduate full degree students
• European Solidarity Corps (ESC) participants
• ESN buddies, volunteers and alumni
