Do I need an Interrail or a Eurail Pass?

An Interrail Pass can be used by European citizens. Non-European citizens can use a Eurail Pass instead, available from Eurail.com for the same price as an Interrail Pass.

If you’re not a European citizen, but a resident of Europe, you can also use an Interrail Pass. We ask for your country of residence when you order, this will show on your Pass, so you will need to bring an official European residency card or document along during your travels that matches the country of residence appearing on your Interrail Pass. Check our booking conditions (Article 5) to see if your country of residence is eligible for an Interrail Pass.

If you have more than one passport or official residency (dual citizenship), the Pass you use must be based on where you actually live:

1. If you have 2 European passports, use the passport or national identity card (ID) of the country you live in to order your Interrail Pass.

2. If you have a European passport and a non-European passport, use the passport or national identity card (ID) of the country you live in. If you live in Europe, order an Interrail Pass. If you live outside of Europe, order a Eurail Pass from Eurail.com.

3. If you have a European passport and a non-European passport but live in a different European country, you can travel with a passport or national identity card (ID). Still, your country of residence is the country you live in. Order an Interrail Pass and bring an official residency card or document with you along with your passport or national identity card (ID).

Please note that a driver's license or an e-residency document is not a valid travel document. Note: A residence permit - or e-residency - allows a foreign national to reside in one country for a specified period only.
