They will be split into eight different vouchers this time – four red vouchers worth €15 each, to be used at restaurants and bars, and four blue vouchers worth €10 each, to be used at retail.

For the first time, the vouchers can be downloaded digitally, instead of just being sent via registered post through Maltapost.

A letter will be sent to all households with instructions on how to download your vouchers. This option will be allowed until 4th June.

This second round of vouchers will cost €50 million. They will be issued to all Maltese residents aged 16 and over.

The vouchers can be redeemed until next September.

Businesses that applied for the vouchers to be used at their establishments last year will continue to be kept on the scheme – Minister Schembri just asked owners to ensure that the credit card they had signed up with is still valid.
