The European towns that will pay Britons up to £45,000 to move - Spain, Italy and more

Spain

Ponga is a small town in Spain that will give €2,971 (around £2,584) to every person that moves there.

This sum will also be paid for every baby born in the area.

The scheme has been introduced in the hopes of attracting foreigners and boosting the local economy.

Anyone who takes up the offer must commit to living in the town for a minimum of five years.

Ponga isn't the only place Britons can get paid to enjoy the Spanish sun.

Rubia will also pay up to €100-150 (£87-£130) every month to stay in the village.

The area has hopes of increasing student numbers at schools and families are encouraged to take it up.

Italy

Calabria hopes to boost the population by offering up to €28,000 (£24,355) to UK expats if they move. The scheme has been in place since 2021.

Those who are accepted have just 90 days to move to the area and must be under the age of 40.

The money is also offered with the intention that the resident starts a business or works in an in-demand sector such as hotels, restaurants or shops.

This year, the stunning island of Sardinia announced it will also pay residents to boost its population.

Switzerland

Britons prepared to move to Albinen in the Swiss Alps look to cash in the most.
