Student Flex Trips

Student Flex Trips is a personal travel pass.
That's why your My SNCB-NMBS account must be verified to confirm your identity and allow you to purchase, validate and use your journeys directly in the SNCB-NMBS app.
You can verify your account in two ways: online using itsme® or your eID or at an SNCB-NMBS ticket office, by presenting your identity card or another official identity document.

Student Flex Trips is a personal travel pass linked to the holder’s verified My SNCB-NMBS account. It must be purchased and used by the person travelling with the pass. Student Flex Trips cannot be transferred to another person.

To purchase or renew a Student Flex Trips, a school certificate is required if you reach the age of 18 during the validity of your subscription. 

What is a valid school certificate?

This certificate must contain the same data as your subscription (first and last name, date of birth, school period and train station corresponding to your school or traineeship) and must be signed by your school.

The following documents are accepted:

• A proof of enrolment form, completed and signed by your school
• Certificate from your school proving that you are attending that school or place of traineeship during the validity of your subscription
• Certificate of enrolment (after payment of the enrolment fee) is valid as a school certificate

The following documents are not accepted:

• School certificate from a school far from one of the train stations of your subscription
• School certificate whose dates of attendance do not correspond to the dates of validity of your subscription
• pre-registration form with payment slip
• Student card

If the proof of enrolment is invalid, you will be informed by email. We will cancel your validation and your season ticket will be deleted from your MoBIB card. You will be refunded the full amount if the validation period has not yet begun. If the validation period has already begun, a €10 administration fee will be retained.

How to obtain a valid school certificate?

There are 2 possibilities:

• You can ask your school’s administration to fill in our template of proof of enrolment
• Your school provides you directly with a valid certificate that corresponds to your subscription (first and last name, address, date of birth and school period for which you are registered)

Yes. If the 8 journeys included in a Student Flex 8 Trips pass are not enough, you can purchase several passes. However, we recommend comparing this option with a Student Flex 60 Trips pass or a Student Season Ticket to make sure you choose the most cost-effective solution.

Any unused journeys remaining at the end of the validity period will be lost. They cannot be carried over to a new validity period or refunded.

No. A Student Flex Trips is valid for a fixed departure and destination station selected at the time of purchase. It can only be used on that route, in either direction. If you regularly travel on multiple routes, you can purchase several Student Flex Trips passes.

Yes. A student who regularly travels on several routes, for example between different places of residence, campuses or an internship location, can take out multiple separate Student Flex Trips passes. Please note: if the destinations are different, you will need to upload multiple school certificates.

The number of remaining journeys is displayed directly in the SNCB-NMBS app. You can check your available journey balance at any time before planning your next trip.

No. Student Flex Trips is linked to the origin and destination selected at the time of purchase. If your travel needs change, you must purchase a new Student Flex Trips for the new route. You can only request a refund for a Student Flex 60 Trips pass. Student Flex 8 Trips is not eligible for a refund.

Student Flex 60 Trips cannot be exchanged, but it may be refunded in accordance with the applicable refund policy, calculated on a pro rata basis (time elapsed or journeys used), with a 20% deduction from the original purchase price.
