There is no need to activate the pass until just before boarding the first train of your travel.

Actually i m buying a black friday promo 10 DAYS global eurail pass it says that you have to activate before 1st june 2024 but i am going to Europe in the mid of july.

Its expiery is 31st july 2024 because of promo rates some conditions apply.

But i will be in USA 🇺🇸  in june but i have to activate it remotely from USA. 

SO my question was this can i activate it without being physically present in europe.......from USA 🇺🇸? ......or i have to be present in europe train station to activate this pass?

I believe Al and Anna have answered your question : you will be able to activate your mobile pass on your phone from the USA.

Simply set a reminder.

The validity period must start no later than 1 June and will then end on 31 July. You can then travel on any 10 days within that period.

You have to start the promo pass by 1 June, even if you won’t use it until July.

So you lose some of the validity of the pass. 

I’m guessing you will buy the ‘10 days in 2 months’ pass. If you start it on 1June, it will expire at the end of July.

If that suits you, everything’s ok. If not, you can buy a full price pass instead. I bet there will be a promotion in Spring 2024. Probably not a 25% discount though.
