International students

Save 50% on public transport with an International Student Travel Pass.


Get a state-wide pass and enjoy unlimited travel on bus, train and tram across all of Victoria.

Eligibility

To be eligible for an International Student Travel Pass, you need to be:

  • a full-time international student
  • enrolled in a bachelor or associate degree, diploma or advanced diploma
  • studying at an educational institute that’s signed up to the International Student Travel Pass program.

Please note: International exchange students, students with refugee status and recipients of Australian Award Scholarships are already eligible for discounted travel. The International Student Travel Pass doesn’t apply to these students. New Zealand students are eligible for the International Student Travel Pass.

Mobile myki is not available for the International Student Travel Pass.

What the pass covers

You can use your pass for all your travel, even if you’re just going out with friends or going to work. It also gives you access to all-night weekend travel on the Night Network.

Metropolitan Melbourne students

Students studying in Melbourne can purchase a state-wide pass that covers Zone 1, 2 and regional Victoria. This means you can travel anywhere in Victoria for the price of a Zone 1+2 pass.

Students studying at an institution in Zone 2 (for example, Deakin University in Burwood) have the option of purchasing a Zone 2-only pass if they prefer.

Regional students

Regional students can purchase a state-wide pass that covers regional Victoria and metropolitan Melbourne. This means your pass allows you to travel into Melbourne as well.

Regional students can also choose to only purchase a pass that covers only the zone in which their institution is located.
