How to apply for relief

The text of the Notices states that when the platform designed for the provision will be ready, the user will be able to access it through SPID or CNS, delegate the submission of the application to a third party, issue self-certified statements and forward the application for contribution digitally signed by the person concerned or the delegate, resulting in the issuance of the receipt of submission and transmission of the application in PDF format. In this way, the Ministry of Tourism allows operators to view documents in advance of the creation of the platforms.
