Legi Student ID: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use your Legi Student ID to access discounts at museums, cinemas, and shops while studying in Switzerland.
The Legi Student ID is a specialized identification card designed to help students manage the costs of student life through various discounts.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to all registered students. If you are currently enrolled in a university program and have completed your registration process, you qualify to use this identification.
What you get
The primary benefit of holding a Legi Student ID is access to reduced pricing at various popular venues. This includes discounts at museums, which can make culture more affordable, as well as savings at cinemas for entertainment. Additionally, you can use the ID to access special rates at various retail stores, helping to reduce your daily living expenses.
What it costs you
You do not need to pay an extra, separate fee to obtain this ID. The cost of the Legi Student ID is already included in your standard semester fees paid to the university. Because it is bundled with your existing enrollment costs, there is no additional out-of-pocket expense required to access these benefits.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that your status is not permanent. To ensure you can still use your discounts, the card must be validated every single semester. If you forget to update your card with your current semester information, you may be denied the discounts at shops or cultural venues.
How to apply
- Complete your official registration for the upcoming semester through your university.
- Check with your university administration to see how to collect or activate your digital or physical card.
- Ensure you have your student ID ready whenever you visit a participating museum, cinema, or shop.
- Remember to return to your university administration each semester to have your card validated for the new term.
