Increased Allowance for Residents of Remote Areas

The Council of Ministers has approved an increase in the allowance for residents of remote areas, abolishing the second tier and redistributing the communities.

Specifically, the €500 tier (60-79km distance) is abolished, and the communities are moved to the €600 tier (>=60km distance). The remaining tiers are as follows: €300 for residents of communities with a distance of 40-59km or 30-39km and an altitude >=700m.

The decision affects the communities of Agios Theodorou Tillyrias, Alevga, Gerakies, Kalopanagiotis, Kampos, Mansoura, Milikouri, Mosfili, Moutoullas, Oikos, Pachyammos, Pedoulas, Selladi of Appi, Tsakkistra, and Livadi Pafou.

The 50% increase for the Tillyria communities will only apply to those communities that fall within the region.

Beneficiaries who have already applied for 2025 will automatically receive the increased amount.
