Season ticket creation and renewal

Student Multi is the ideal season ticket for students staying in student accommodation, who commute once a week between their home and their student accommodation (or college).

The Half-Time Season Ticket is a 5-journey return-trip rail card valid for 15 days.
Even better value when combined with a third-party payment agreement.

2 options:

1. Student (or Standard) season ticket for the daily journey + Student Multi (or Half-Time season ticket) for the other weekly journey.
2. Student (or Standard) Season Ticket with 2 journeys. It's better value for money than 2 individual Student Season Tickets but this is not available on MoBIB. For this option, apply for a paper season ticket at the ticket office.

Yes, this is possible as long as it is a Student Multi from school to a station of your choice. For each new Student Multi, you need a school certificate if you are over 18 years old.

Yes of course, as long as you can present the master railcard and validation during control on the train.

Where this is the case, you need to apply for a Student Season Ticket with 2 journeys. It's better value for money than 2 individual Student Season Tickets but this option is not available on MoBIB.

With a season ticket, you can embark or disembark at any stations/stops along the shortest route between your station and your destination. It may be the case that to reach your destination more quickly, you take a route other than the shortest one. Where this is the case, you are NOT permitted to embark or disembark at the stations/stops along this alternative route.

Student, Standard and Unlimited Season Ticket can be combined with regional public transport provided by TEC, STIB and/or De Lijn. Student Multi and Half-Time season tickets, however, cannot be combined with these particular means of transport.

For a rail season ticket combined with TEC, STIB and/or De Lijn: go to the SNCB ticket office of your choice.
Even though you will be able to travel on the lines of these other transport companies (TEC, STIB and/or De Lijn), season tickets combined with the train are cannot by purchased from them.

You can easily renew your combined season ticket (train + metro/tram/bus) on the SNCB web site, at ticket vending machines and at SNCB ticket offices.

Are you between 18 and 24 years old? To renew your combined SNCB+TEC Next or Horizon season ticket, you need to create a new season ticket at the SNCB counters. The Next and Horizon season tickets for 18-24 year olds will be replaced by a cheaper Express season ticket.

It is not possible to renew these with other public transport companies.

For a combined SNCB season ticket (with TEC, STIB or De Lijn), a period of 5 days is required for your pass data to be validated with all the transport companies involved in your journey.

For an SNCB season ticket (not combined), you can renew on the same day of the desired start date of validity. In the confirmation email, PDF tickets are provided so that you can travel on the first few days.

The Section and Student Season Tickets can be combined with a De Lijn supplement, for travelling by rail and then on bus throughout the entire De Lijn network.

• A proof of enrolment form, completed and signed by your school

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)

If your employer has signed a third-party payment agreement with SNCB, it pays for ( a part of) your season ticket. The third-party payment certificate serves as proof of your employer's contribution.

• 80/20 scheme: the employee doesn't have to pay anything. The cost of the season ticket will be billed to the employer.
• No 80/20 scheme: the employee only pays for the port not included in the contribution.The remainder will be billed to the employer.

• Student and Standard Season Tickets:
  The price is calculated based on the distance travelled between the departure and destination stations, whether you travel first or second class and the valid term. Season tickets can be combined with STIB/TEC/De Lijn for a supplement.


• Student Multi and Half-Time Season Tickets:
The price is calculated based on the distance travelled between the departure and destination stations, whether you travel first or second class.
