Step by step the process
As far as the process is concerned, it is the same as the one followed in the first phase of the Fuel Pass. Analytically:
1. The beneficiary enters the online platform https://vouchers.gov.gr/ with the Taxisnet codes.
2. After entering the application, the applicant completes and updates his contact information so that it is valid and, in particular, his email address and mobile phone number.
3. He chooses whether he wishes to issue a voucher or deposit into a bank account by filling in the iban for which he wants the amount credited.
4. After the completion of the application and once his status as a beneficiary has been verified, the Information Society transmits an approval decision to the bank.
5. Next, the bank informs the beneficiary of the procedure to be followed in order to activate the card and credit the amount of money, by sending: a) a text message (sms) to the mobile phone number that the beneficiary has declared in the special application, with integrated instructions and b) an e-mail message (e-mail) to the e-mail address stated by the beneficiary in the special application with an integrated link to activate the digital debit card. After entering the above link, the beneficiary creates a personal access code (password) and
receives a confirmation code, with a new text message (sms), in order to activate his digital debit card, to which the fuel subsidy amount is credited.
6. The amount of money credited to the debit card can be used exclusively by the beneficiary to purchase fuel and it is not possible to transfer it to a third party or withdraw
