Applications for Greece’s Youth Pass 2026 are entering their final stage, as young people across the country rush to claim a €150 digital voucher designed to support cultural participation and travel-related spending.
The program targets residents aged 18 and 19, offering financial assistance through a prepaid digital card. Eligible beneficiaries are those who have reached either age by December 31, 2025.
The application platform opened on April 1, 2026, and will remain available until May 15, 2026. Payments are expected to be completed by May 31, 2026.
Who is eligible for the Youth Pass
The Youth Pass is granted once at the age of 18. Those who qualify receive the financial support automatically for two consecutive years, without needing to submit a new application. Over this period, the total support amounts to €300.
The program is aimed at young people transitioning into adulthood, providing them with a small financial boost for experiences related to travel, education, and culture.
How the digital voucher works
Beneficiaries receive the support through a digital prepaid card that functions as an electronic wallet. The card is valid for two years and can be used across a wide range of services linked to tourism, entertainment, and cultural activities.
Eligible spending categories include:
- Airlines and air travel services
- Car rentals and transport services
- Hotels and accommodation
- Train, bus, taxi, and ferry transport
- Boat and recreational vehicle rentals
- Travel agencies and tourism services
- Books, films, and music (including digital formats)
- Bookstores and cultural venues
- Cinemas, theatres, dance halls, and studios
- Museums, exhibitions, and tourist attractions
- Gyms and recreational camps
How to apply
Applications must be submitted online through the official government platform using personal tax identification credentials. The process is completed via the public digital services portal.
Once approved, the voucher is issued digitally and can be used directly through the prepaid card system for eligible purchases within the programs categories.
