After your arrival in Hungary, it is obligatory to request a student card that will certify your student status. This will entitle you to the same reductions as Hungarian students: on public transportation tickets, museum entrance fees, Youth Hostel accommodation, library memberships and various other discounts.
First step: Go to an Office of Government Issued Documents (short term: Registration Office/Municipality Office; in Hungarian: Okmányiroda/Kormányablak) and apply for a student card.
For more information please visit the website of Kormányablak!
Second step: You need to register your application electronically in the Neptun system. (Go to "Administration" -> "Student card request" -> "Add new")
Third step: Your student card is ready and you can obtain it.
50% or more discounts in the following cases:
- monthly pass for public transport
- travelling by train
- travelling by bus
- membership fee in public libraries
