The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works reminds that the application process for the first phase of the Grant Scheme for the Purchase of Protective Equipment for Motorcyclists is underway, with a deadline of Thursday, July 7, 2022, at 12 noon.
To date, approximately 2,500 applications have been received, a number that exceeds the available grants and demonstrates that motorcyclists perceive the use of additional protective equipment as a basic necessity that will help protect their lives.
As a reminder, applications are accepted only online through the online platform www.motosafety.gov.cy, by entering your ID number, date of birth, vehicle registration number, mobile phone number and email address.
Upon completion of the process, applications will be reviewed on the basis of the Plan's criteria and those that qualify will be sorted into the applications for approval. Since interest is greater than the predetermined number of applications, an electronic lottery will be held on a date to be announced in the near future. Applicants will be notified of preliminary approval electronically (email) or by text message (sms) or by post.
Applicants receiving preliminary approval will be given a period of 3 months from the date of pre-approval to submit supporting documentation for the purchase of equipment and payment account information for payment of the grant. Applicants who secure pre-approval but do not make a purchase or submit the necessary information and supporting documents within the specified timeframes will not receive the grant.
Interested parties may visit www.motosafety.gov.cy for the requirements of the Scheme and contact by email at motosafety@mcw.gov.cy for further information and queries before applying.
