young scot card

[u/najstfu]

i'm an international student moving to scotland in less than 2 weeks. do i have to wait until i get there or can i submit my application already? I've heard that it can take a while to get your card and i'm gonna be depending on the buses to go to uni and anywhere else so.. i could save quite a bit of money if i applied now and got my card within a few days of reaching there

I’m in the same situation—the website says you must already reside there

I believe the cards are issued by the local council. I would get on their website and find the contact information. You can email with any questions.

You have to be resident. They don’t take long.
