Valid for is the most common pattern and refers to time, use, or eligibility. Other prepositions usually add place, date, or context rather than forming fixed combinations.
Use valid for to show duration, purpose, or eligibility. In, on, from, and at usually introduce context such as place or time.
These forms are not interchangeable. Choose the construction by meaning, not by which preposition appears most often.
Use valid for with time periods, activities, or groups.
In introduces the country, system, or situation where something is accepted.
From introduces the date when validity begins.
On often introduces specific days, dates, or services.
The same subject can take different constructions because each sentence answers a different question.
Some combinations appear in real text but do not mean what learners often assume.
Use for to express a period of validity.
