According to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, young people have shown great interest in freedom-pass.
In his message, Mr. Mitsotakis stated that “the platform for the Freedom Pass was opened yesterday and 120,000 young people aged 18 to 25 who have been vaccinated have already applied. Support government efforts to protect public health. Make an appointment here: https://emvolio.gov.gr/ “.
Deputy Minister of Digital Government Georgios Georgantas previously spoke about the Freedom Pass, noting that the total number of beneficiaries, aged 18 to 25, is estimated at 250,000. He stressed that after the announcement of the “freedom-pass” program on June 28 of this year, more than 500,000 young people have planned to receive vaccinations. At the same time, the representative of the government noted that there is an approach to the indicator of 30% in this category. “We want to maintain this rate of vaccination so that in late August or early September we are close to 70% of the planned,” said Mr. Georgantas, noting that tomorrow Greece will overcome the barrier of 10 million doses of vaccine.
The Freedom Pass includes 5 top questions and answers about the € 150 voucher:
1) What is Freedom Pass?
The Freedom Pass is a € 150 digital debit card for purchases from certain Greek tourism and cultural companies. Each recipient will be able to pay for products and services simply by “scanning” the code on their mobile phone at the checkout, if it is a transaction in physical stores, or by entering card details in an electronic store, if it is an electronic transaction.
2) Who are the recipients?
All young people between the ages of 18 and 25, i.e. Born between 01/01/1996 and 31/12/2003 are eligible for the Freedom Pass. The only condition is to get at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
3) How do I get a Freedom Pass?
The Freedom Pass is issued with a digital application submitted at freedompass.gov.gr. You will need your Taxisnet passwords to enter the platform.
