Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
Who is eligible

Notes
Once a day, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (except Sundays, national holidays and the New Year period). Pay the fee directly to the provider that sent the supporter. Last-minute cancellations may be charged a cancellation fee.
