In Croatia the identification card for full-time students is the iksica (or “X-ica). The student card is used as proof for realising student rights and benefits such as subsidised meals, public transportation, discounts in certain public institutions and so on.
International students in Croatia receive a student card if they fall into one of these categories:
- Students arriving through the CEEPUS network
- Students in bilateral exchange programmes of the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports and the Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes
- ERASMUS students
Students studying in Croatia privately (free-movers) or as part of a faculty-level exchange programme are not entitled to a student card but only a temporary card which carries a benefit of subsidised meals in student cafeterias (menza).
