Free youth passes

Beneficiaries:

• Young people aged 4 to 23 (until the last day of the month in which they turn 24).
• Students in higher education up to and including the age of 24, attending courses with an integrated study cycle, namely Architecture and Urbanism, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Medicine, Dental Medicine and Veterinary Medicine.
