Are you the one looking to move to a beautiful European country with warm temperatures, beautiful beaches and a slow pace of life? 

Several European countries have stepped up and decided to pay people keen to move to places such as Greece and Italy, reports GB News. 

While relocation may be mentally exhausting, these countries are providing an enticing offer to Brits in exchange for people settling down in less crowded areas. 

Here is the list of some of the European countries offering money to move.

Sardinia, Italy

Sardinia is a stunning island in Italy, known for its breathtaking landscapes, beautiful sandy beaches and unique culture. 

The island has been offering financial incentives to attract new residents to its rural areas.

It is providing grants of over €15,000 (approximately £12,447) to encourage people to move to its rural towns, aiming to counteract population decline. 

To qualify, participants must purchase and renovate a property in a village with fewer than 3,000 residents and commit to becoming full-time Sardinian residents within 18 months of the purchase.

Ireland

Ireland is offering cash grants of up to €84,000 (approximately £69,000) to individuals willing to purchase and restore properties on its coastal islands.

With around 30 islands and a combined population of about 3,000 people, the initiative aims to attract new, younger residents to revitalise these communities.

To qualify for the grant, applicants must commit to buying and renovating a property and residing in it for at least 10 years.

This programme is part of Ireland’s effort to breathe new life into its picturesque, underpopulated island areas.

Ponga, Spain

Ponga, a small town in Asturias, Spain, is offering financial incentives for people to move there. Families with children can receive up to €3,000 (around £2491), while singles or couples without children are eligible for up to €2,000 (£1661).

Additionally, if a baby is born while living in Ponga, an extra €3,000 is offered. These incentives aim to encourage new residents to revitalise the town, which currently has a population of just 574.

While the financial support is an attractive bonus, it’s important to note that Ponga is a quiet, rural area with a slower pace of life.

Albinen, Switzerland

The village of Albinen, located in the Swiss Alps, is offering up to €50,000 (£43,500) to encourage families to move there.

The municipality, which has a very small population of around 250 people, offers financial incentives to people under the age of 45, providing CHF 25,000 (around £22,400) for each adult and CHF 10,000 (around £8,975) per child.

The offer is part of an effort to counteract population decline and revitalise the rural community. However, there are conditions such as purchasing a property worth at least CHF 200,000 and committing to live in Albinen for at least 10 years​.

Antikythera, a small Greek island, is offering an enticing incentive for people to move there.

The initiative, supported by the Greek Orthodox Church, provides new residents with a home, a piece of land, and a monthly stipend of €500 (around £414) for the first three years.

This effort is aimed at repopulating the island, which currently has fewer than 30 permanent residents. The programme targets families in particular, and those interested in moving will need to commit to long-term residency​.
