On April 1, the platform for submitting statements for this year’s Youth Pass is expected to open. Payments will be made at the end of May.
Beneficiaries of the Youth Pass are tax residents of Greece, who have reached the age of 18 or 19 within the year preceding the application and submit an application on the platform.
There are no property or income criteria for granting the aid.
The young people who received the Youth Pass in 2023 as they turned 18 in 2022 will receive the financial support of 150 euros this year without a new application.
Those who did not apply when they were 18 can do so this year when they turn 19, receiving the aid only for the second year and not retroactively.
The Youth Pass is in the form of a digital debit card which beneficiaries will be able to use in businesses operating in the fields of culture, tourism and transport.
How will you apply?
Applications are made in two ways:
Either through the vouchers.gov.gr platform or through KEP
1) Application on the vouchers.gov.gr platform:
Young people who turned 18 or 19 between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2023 can apply this year.
The application is submitted once and is not resubmitted after the beneficiary turns 19.
The beneficiary’s entry into the special application takes place after authentication of the beneficiary using the taxisnet codes
After entering the application, the beneficiary enters in the fields displayed in the system the contact details, and in particular the e-mail address and the mobile phone number, of the credit institution he chooses for the issuance of the digital debit card and requests the issuance of the digital debit card and the credit of the relevant amount.
2) Application to KEPs:
The process of issuing the digital debit card can also be carried out through the KEP, by a certified employee, following a relevant request of the natural person – beneficiary, as well as through an authorized representative, based on the Code of Administrative Procedure.
The employee of the KEP enters the special application after being authenticated using the “Public Administration Codes” of the Public Administration Code of the Ministry of Digital Governance, according to the decision of the Minister of State under data 29810 EX 2020 (B’ 4798). The employee then enters in the fields displayed in the system:
a) The Tax Registration Number (TIN) of the natural person,
b) the contact details of the natural person, and in particular the email address and mobile phone number and
c) the credit institution that the natural person chooses, and requests on behalf of the natural person the issuance of the digital debit card and the crediting of the relevant amount.
