Membership fee discounts

A member may receive a discount on the membership fee if they have no salary, entrepreneurial or comparable income for at least one full calendar month, or otherwise have particularly low income. Staying abroad or studying full-time may also make you eligible for the discount.

A member retiring permanently may be granted a membership fee discount or pensioner membership, depending on the member’s age, pension decision, and the time of retirement. In this case, apply for pensioner membership instead of a membership fee discount.

The discount can be granted for full calendar months for the period of the discount basis. If the end date is not known, by default, the discount can be granted for six calendar months, but no longer than until the end of the year.
