I am currently a student from England on my year abroad. So far this year I have lived in Spain from September to early February (5/6 months) and have been in Austria since March (3 months).

I am unsure what country qualifies as my country of residence according to the InterRail rules, can anyone help?

If you have english/spanish/austrian ID/passport you are english/spanish/austrian.

Agreed, but according to the InterRail page on country of residence ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/how-to-interrail[/u] )

[quote]...if your nationality is French and you have studied in Sweden for the last six months, then Sweden is your country of residence.[/quote]

I was registered as a student in Spain from 10th September until 12th February. If the rule counts months by number of days residing, I lived there for 5 months, but if it registers part of the month as well as full months, I lived there for six months.

when I was buying my IR 10/22 pass I had to show some document and it was my ID. I'm polish but I study in Spain from september and of course I don't have any spanish document so, even if I would like to buy as spanish IR, I couldn't because I don't have any ID/passport etc.

If you have some spanish/austrian ID/passport/etc then you can buy it as spanish/austrian.
