FAQ

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.
Everything you need to know about the Brave Ones ISIC Student Card — from eligibility to how to get the most out of your discounts.

How is this different from a regular ISIC card?

Functionally, it is the same official ISIC card accepted worldwide. The difference is:

  • You get it at a special discounted price through Brave Ones

  • It is tailored to international students in the Netherlands

  • It is integrated into the Brave Ones ecosystem, where you can find additional student services and benefits

Can I apply before arriving in the Netherlands?

Yes, and it’s highly recommended.

Applying before arrival means you can start using your card immediately when you land. This helps you save on early expenses such as transport, activities, and student essentials from your first days in the Netherlands.

Can I use the ISIC card internationally?

Yes. The ISIC card is accepted in over 130 countries, making it useful not only in the Netherlands but also when you travel.

Whether you’re visiting other European cities or going home during holidays, you can continue using your student discounts worldwide.

How do I actually find and use the discounts?

After receiving your ISIC card, you can explore available discounts through the official ISIC platform or app.

To use them:

  • Show your digital or physical card in-store

  • Enter your ISIC details when booking online

  • Browse offers by location or category (e.g., travel, shopping, experiences)

Many students discover new discounts over time, so it’s worth checking regularly.

What happens if my application is rejected?

If your application is not approved, it’s usually due to missing or unclear proof of student status.

You can simply:

  • Reapply with the correct documents

  • Upload a clearer or more recent proof of enrollment

Most applications are approved once the correct information is provided.

Can I use the ISIC card as identification in the Netherlands?

The ISIC card is a recognized student ID, but it is not a legal form of identification in the Netherlands.

You should still carry:

  • Your passport or ID card

  • Your residence permit (if applicable)

However, the ISIC card is widely accepted as proof of student status for discounts and services.

Are all discounts automatic?

No, discounts are not applied automatically.

You need to:

  • Check available offers

  • Actively use your card when making purchases

Some discounts require booking through specific links or platforms, so it’s important to follow the instructions provided with each offer.

Is the card worth it if I don’t travel much?

Yes — while travel discounts are a big benefit, many savings come from everyday use.

You can still benefit from:

  • Retail and online shopping discounts

  • Local experiences and activities

  • Student deals on services and subscriptions

Even occasional use can make the card worth the cost.

What if I stop being a student?

If you are no longer enrolled as a student, you are not eligible to renew your ISIC card.

However, your current card will remain valid until its expiration date. After that, you won’t be able to extend it unless you regain student status.

If you’ve recently graduated, there’s still a good alternative. If you are under 30 years old, you can apply for the ISIC Youth Card, which offers similar benefits and discounts tailored to young people. This allows you to continue enjoying savings even after your studies.
