How can I show my student ID/what counts as a student ID?
International students in Sweden can get a student card from Mecenat or Studentkortet. These are usually kept on their phones, but some students have a physical card.

How much does the ESNcard cost?
The ESNcard costs 150 SEK, and considering its validity and the number of discounts, we think it’s a great deal!

How can I pay?
Only card payments are accepted. No cash, Swish, PayPal, or other methods.

I am not a student but do an internship, can I still buy the ESNcard?
If you are not a Swedish citizen and your internship is part of your studies, then yes.

I study at universities that are not Stockholm University, KTH, or Karolinska Institutet but still study in Stockholm, can I buy the ESNcard?
Yes, you can. If you are studying at Södertörn University, you can also buy the ESNcard from us.

Can I buy an ESNcard for my friend who isn’t here?
Unfortunately, no. Since we need to see student IDs in person, this is not possible.

I am a Swedish citizen, can I buy the ESNcard?
No. You can read all the rules at www.esncard.org/faq. However, if you become an active member, you can receive one.

Do I really need to get a photo for my ESNcard?
Yes! A simple photo will suffice, and even a printed version is acceptable.

What does the ESNcard get me?
The ESNcard provides you with discounts. You can find a list of them at www.esncard.org. Additionally, you typically receive a 10-20% discount at ESN events and sometimes discounts on Timetravels trips.

How long does the ESNcard last?
The ESNcard is valid for one year.

I was a member before, or had the ESNcard, but it expired. What should I do?
You can purchase a new ESNcard, just like new members.

I lost my ESNcard, can I get a new one for free?
Unfortunately, no. You will need to purchase a replacement.

Does the ESNcard work as an official student card in Sweden?
No, the ESNcard is not recognised as an official student card in Sweden. It cannot be used for SL travel or museum discounts, for example.

Is my ESNcard valid in countries outside of Sweden?
Yes, the ESNcard is generally valid across Europe in all countries where ESN has a presence.

Do I need the ESNcard if I only stay for one semester or a shorter period?
We highly recommend getting the ESNcard, as it is valid for an entire year. Even if you return to your home country before the year ends, you can still use the international discounts, and possibly local discounts if another ESN section is available in your area.

Who can get an ESNcard?
The ESNcard is available to any student with a student status or those doing an internship abroad. If you’re in Göteborg, you must be an Erasmus student (your home university must not be in Sweden) or a full-time international student.

Can I join ESN events without having an ESNcard?
Yes, our events are open to everyone who enjoys an international environment. However, for ticketed events, ESNcard holders receive a guaranteed discount, so it’s worth getting one.
