I hold residence permit for Netherlands, want to travel from Antwerp to Eindhoven and Eindhoven to Antwerp on daily basis from Monday to  Thursday ?

Is it possible using interrail global pass with validity period of 3 months ?

 

No, you can only use an Interrail pass in your home country on 2 days out of it’s full validity.


If you want to commute on an (almost) daily basis, then you need to buy season tickets. 2 in your case:

  1. Between Eindhoven and Hazeldonk (Gr), from NS (note that a network season ticket is only a bit more expensive than a season ticket limited to this route).
  2. Between Hazeldonk (Gr) and Antwerp, from NMBS.

Hazeldonk (Gr) is the border.

For more specific advice, you can ask questions on e.g. the NS community.


The DUTch season MUST be loaded on a personal chipcard (with your name+foto on it)-and hence has to be produced individually-this will take at least 5 working days=1 week total) and then you have to CALL NS as these are very special seasons that omit the need for complete checkIN/OUT on them. All in all its quite complicated and you have to inform yourself thoroughly in how to handle it-and even then expact initial errors. IN eed for this distance a normal network season will hardly cost more (name is ALTIJD VRIJ) but this willlead to even more eternal probs with missing checkINs/OUts (or train yourself to do that swiftly when changing in Breda). It is not at all a very convenient trip nor way to handle it. BUT it will cost less as half of that 900€

Please update your knowledge and don't spread outdated information.
