Referral program - How it works

Refer a friend - Earn €50 (and give €50 too!)

Fabio Pellini – CPO at wearefreemovers | September 1, 2025

Got friends who want to study abroad like you?
Now you can help them get started and earn money at the same time. That’s what the wearefreemovers Referral Program is all about.

You share.
They join.
You both earn €50. Simple. 💸 You both earn from €25 to €50, it depends on where you go, but either way, it’s cash straight to your pocket. 💸

If you are a solid free mover PR, you can earn up to 500€ just by spreading the voice.

And yes, we’ve all got that friend who says “I wanna go abroad too!” but never knows where to start.
Now you can be the one who helps them take the first step.

How it works ✅

Studying abroad can feel complicated when you’re starting out: applications, deadlines, documents.

Chances are you know someone who keeps saying “I’d love to go abroad too, but I don’t know where to start.”
That’s where the Referral Program comes in: you don’t need to travel together, you just help them take the first step.
When they succeed, you both get rewarded.

  • Join the program
    As soon as you complete your profile, you’re in! You’ll get a personal referral code directly in your account.
  • Invite your friends
    Share your code with anyone planning to go abroad. If they use it during the sign up process, they’ll get a bonus too (the exact amount depends on the university).
  • Get rewarded
    Once your friend arrives at their host university and we receive our commission, you’ll both get your reward. Simple as that.

Boom. 🎉

Because the best part of studying abroad is not just your own journey, it’s knowing you helped someone else start theirs.

A few things to know 💡

Here are the key details to keep in mind before you start sharing your code:

  • How much per friend
    For every friend who successfully applies through your referral, you’ll receive either €25 or €50, depending on the university they choose. The exact amount will always be shown when they sign up, so there are no surprises.

  • Maximum earnings
    You can earn up to €500 per semester through referrals. That’s ten friends, ten new journeys, and a nice extra reward for you.

  • Only real bookings count
    Your friend needs to select a Referral-Enabled destination and complete their registration abroad. If they drop out or never finish the process, the referral won’t count.

  • No funny business
    This program is meant to reward real students helping each other out. That means no self-referrals, no fake accounts, and no trying to grab students who already applied (for that, we have the Go Together Bonus). Referral codes only work during the sign-up phase, so it’s clear when someone joined thanks to you.

  • Payment method
    Once everything is complete and we receive the university’s payment, we’ll send you your reward within 30 days. We’ll use the same method you chose for your Confirmation Deposit — or, if needed, another one we agree on together.

✨ In short: real students, real journeys, real rewards. Just good vibes, transparency, and a little extra cash for spreading the free mover spirit.

Perfect for..🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Think about the people around you. Maybe it’s:

  • Friends from your university who keep telling you they’d also love to try a semester abroad, but haven’t figured out where to start.

  • Your younger sibling who’s still planning their degree and dreams about studying in another country, but could use a little push.

  • That classmate who always asks, “Wait… how did you apply?” every time you mention your plans.

  • Or simply anyone in your circle you’d love to see living their best international life — even if they won’t be in the same city or semester as you.

The Referral Program is perfect for all of them. You don’t need to travel together; you just help them take the first step. And in return, you both get rewarded.
