You can travel to as many eligible countries as you want.
However, the number of travelling days is limited; e.g. one can be abroad for up to one month but within this one month not more than a set number of travel days can be used for actual travelling (e.g. on a train).
More information can be found in the questions below. The external contractor will also give more information if your application is successful and you plan your travel.
Your trip can last for a minimum of 1 day to a maximum of 1 month inclusive, with a set number of travel days.
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 you have been selected 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, 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. In order to enable your friends to join your application, you will have to provide them with your application code that you will receive via email. They will have to apply during the application period and be eligible to participate (see Rules section 2. 'Eligible applicants').
