The countdown for the payment of 150 euros to Youth Pass beneficiaries has already begun with the closure of the application platform. The support is credited in the form of a digital debit card, which will be sent to credit institutions by Friday, May 31st.
The credit institution or financial organization informs the beneficiary of the first activation of the card and the crediting of the amount via text message (SMS) or email message (email) with an embedded link to activate the digital debit card.
Please note that there may be a delay of 1 to 2 business days before beneficiaries receive the aid. The credit institution or financial organization informs the beneficiary of the first activation of the card and the crediting of the amount via text message (SMS) or email with an embedded link to activate the digital debit card.
Beneficiaries can then use the amount of aid to make purchases or receive services from companies active in the fields of tourism (e.g. tourist accommodation), culture (e.g. to attend theater shows or concerts, to purchase books, etc.) and transport (taxi, buses, trains, ferry – plane tickets or for car rental or pleasure boats, etc.).
