Your trip can last for a minimum of 1 day to a maximum of 1 month inclusive. You will have 7 travel days on trains within this 1-month period. You can select each of the 7 travel days freely within this 1-month period.
You will find more information in the Rules section 8. 'Booking of travel tickets and Rules for travelling'.
This depends on three factors:
The European Commission and EACEA may award travel passes and discount cards to applicants placed on the reserve list at any moment up to complete use of available funds.
You will find the answer to your question in the Rules section 7. 'Reserve list'.
You will find relevant information in the following sections of the Rules:
No. The travel pass will have your name on it and cannot be transferred to another person under any circumstance. The name on the travel pass cannot be changed.
If your application is successful as a member of a group, but your plans have changed and you would like to travel alone, you can do this. You simply need to complete your booking form with your travel preferences. No further action is required and the other group members will not be affected, they can still travel as a group or individually.
If you have been awarded for a travel pass and your plans have changed, all you can do is withdraw your participation (see rule B.9) as you cannot transfer your travel pass to one of your friends. Furthermore, each travel pass is linked to an individual person, it cannot be changed or transferred to another person.
All you have to do is to contact via the Help Centre with your application code the contractor who is designated by EACEA to arrange the travel passes. This must be done before booking your travel pass via the booking form. Your pass will be given to someone on the reserve list. The way to contact the contractor will be communicated to you if you are awarded a travel pass.
All participants are potential group leaders. As an applicant, during the application period, you can add up to 4 friends who match the eligibility criteria of DiscoverEU even if you have indicated in the application form that you want to travel alone. To enable your friends to join your application, you will have to provide them with your application code that you will receive via email. This will become the group code. They will have to apply during the application period, enter the group code, and be eligible to participate (see Rules section 2.
If your application is successful as a group leader but your group members have not been awarded, this means that your group members did not complete their application on time via the European Youth Portal, or that they did not meet the eligibility criteria, or that they did not click on the “submit” button in order to be registered at the end of the application process. Only the group members who have submitted their application by the deadline via the code provided by the group leader can participate in DiscoverEU.
