        Europe

        Does anyone plan to take advantage of this disability card when it comes out? It would be great if there was an option for non-EU visitors to apply for a temporary version of the card as well.

          As long as you have a card from home I don’t think it would be an issue. I’ve travelled quite a bit in Europe and never had any issues.

            I agree that it would be good to offer a temporary one for tourists. Other than my disabled parking placard, I am not aware of any disability card available here (I am in the US).

              I would recommend getting the new disability card and the new parking card, when they are out. there will be two separate ones, so you can leave the parking card in the vehicle and then you take the general card with you to get discounts at museums for example.

                FYI, I know this is not out yet (that I could see anyway). I have just returned from a trip to Spain and it would have been nice to have something temporary so we could at least use the disabled parking. I have a manual wheelchair and it’s not always easy to find a parking space where I can manage to get in or out of the car!
