Many clients ask themselves this question when choosing a property to invest in.
To begin with, it is necessary to distinguish between “tourist” and “long-term” rentals. For long term rentals (half a year, a year, etc.) there is no need to obtain any licence.
Having a tourist licence in Spain is a requirement for short-term rentals (up to 30 days). Without it, you will not be able to place an ad for renting your accommodation on such popular portals as Airbnb, Booking. When issuing a tourist licence, the object is assigned an identification number, which is placed in advertising publications.
The terms of registration of tourist licence in Spain vary from region to region and can range from 60 days to several months. Also before buying a property for the purpose of tourist rental, it is important to find out all the conditions necessary to obtain a licence. The property must meet certain technical requirements.
For example, in the city of Alicante, from 2018, you will only be able to obtain a licence for a flat that is on the ground floor and has a separate entrance. This is to ensure that tourists with suitcases do not disturb the permanent residents of a house with their presence.
