With 4.5 million cardholders worldwide, the International Student Identity Card (ISIC), recognized by UNESCO, provides various consumer discounts for international students. Cardholders can access over 42,000 discounts in 130 countries, including student-priced airfare, train tickets, and admission to museums, art galleries, and theaters around the world.

Taiwan currently has the highest issuance of ISIC cards in Asia. Compared to regular flight tickets, purchasing student flights can save over NT$10,000 in discounts and also includes benefits such as checked baggage allowances. Additionally, making good use of the ISIC grants various local transportation discounts—for example, 20% off National Express (UK long-distance coach services) or 10% off a consecutive 15- or 30-day Euro_lines pass (European intercity coach travel).
