Low-pensioner holiday grant scheme

Use this service to

Based on a proposal by the Ministry of Labor and Social Insurance, the Council of Ministers has approved for the last 6 years the “Low-Pensioner Holiday Grant Scheme”, for which the Low-Pensioners may apply for holidays during June to July and September to October.

Beneficiaries of the Plan are:

• beneficiaries of the Low-Pensioner Grand
• low-income pensioners who are beneficiaries of the Minimum Guaranteed Income,
• single pensioners with an annual income of up to €15,500 and,
• couple of pensioners and their dependents with an annual income of up to €20,000 as defined in the Low-Pensioner Grand.

The aim of the Scheme is, on the one hand, to provide quality services to the low-income pensioners, but also to support the mountain resorts of Cyprus, which offer a significant number of jobs in areas outside the urban centers, strengthen the tourism product of Cyprus during the winter months thus helping to extend the tourist season and significantly support the communities within which they operate. Regarding the application process, the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance informs the beneficiaries with newsletters, while the application form will be posted in this section upon approval of the Scheme each year.
