The final phase of the DYPA “Social Tourism 2026-2027” programme is entering its final phase, as the provisional results for the holiday vouchers that will be activated from 18 May are expected within the next 24 hours.

According to the director of the DYPA, Yanna Chormova, this year around 800,000 applications were submitted, a figure that registers a particularly high level of interest in the programme.

However, she revealed in statements to SKAI, about 11,000 applications come from citizens with incomes above 80,000 euros, who do not meet the income criteria for participation.

She urged those who know they are not eligible to avoid both applications and objections, noting that each objection is examined separately, which can significantly complicate the process.

When the provisional results are published:

  • The provisional Register of Beneficiaries and Recipients,
  • the exclusion lists,
  • as well as the detailed marking of applications.

  • the application number,
  • encrypted VAT and AMKA details,
  • the score per criterion,
  • the overall rating,
  • the order of ranking,
  • the benefiting members,
  • and the approval or disapproval of the social tourism check.

The final results will be issued once the objections process is completed.

Eligible to participate in the scheme are private sector workers who pay unemployment contributions, but also unemployed persons registered with the DYPA for at least three months. The main criterion is family income in 2024, which must not exceed the limits applicable to the heating allowance.

The programme is also open to spouses, children aged 5 to 18, older dependent children, as well as Persons with Disabilities and their companions.
