If you're living in Greece and thinking about upgrading your internet connection, now is the time to act. There are only a few days left to apply for the **Gigabit Voucher** , a government-backed program that offers **€200 toward a fiber-optic internet connection** . The application deadline is **December 31**, and after that, the opportunity is gone.

Launched in **November 2024** by Greece's Ministry of Digital Governance, the Gigabit Voucher program is designed to help more households switch to **FTTH (Fiber to the Home) -**high-speed internet delivered directly to your apartment or house. Faster speeds, more stable connections, and lower upfront costs are the main goals.  

What does the €200 voucher cover?
---------------------------------

The Gigabit Voucher helps reduce the cost of moving to fiber internet in two key ways:

* it covers the **initial connection and installation fees**,

* it reduces the **monthly subscription cost for the first 24 months**.

The voucher is granted **once per household** and cannot be combined with other national or EU subsidies.

Who is eligible?
----------------

According to the official guidelines, the program is open to households that:

* do **not currently have an internet connection faster than 100 Mbps download**,

* live in **areas included in the Gigabit Voucher program**,

* have **not received similar internet-related subsidies in the past**.

After approval, applicants receive a **voucher number by email and SMS**. This number is then provided to the chosen internet service provider to activate the discount.

### Requirements for internet providers

Only offers published on the official Gigabit Voucher platform qualify for the program. These plans must meet strict technical and pricing requirements, including:

* **minimum speeds of 250 Mbps download** or **100 Mbps symmetrical**, available even during peak hours,

* inclusion of all **necessary end-user equipment**, such as a modem or router,

* a **discount equal to or greater than the voucher value**, compared to similar plans offered before the program was announced.

The Gigabit Voucher may also be relevant for **digital nomads and remote workers** in Greece, but only in specific cases. To qualify, you need to **rent long-term and set up the internet contract in your own name** , effectively registering as a household at a fixed address. Those staying short-term, using Wi-Fi included in their rental, or relying on coworking spaces generally **do not meet the eligibility criteria**.

For many residents and long-term renters, this is a **last chance to upgrade to fiber internet at a lower cost** and enjoy a faster, more reliable connection. With remote work becoming the norm, stable internet is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity. **December 31 is the final deadline**, and applications submitted after that date will not be accepted.
