Many clients ask themselves this question when choosing a property to invest in.
To begin with, you need to distinguish between “tourist” and “long-term” rentals. When renting for a long term (half a year, a year, etc.) there is no need to obtain any license.
Having a tourist license in Spain is a mandatory 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 a tourist license is issued, the property is assigned an identification number, which is placed in advertising publications.
The time frame for obtaining a tourist license in Spain varies from region to region and can range from 60 days to several months. Also, before buying a property for the purpose of tourist rentals, it is important to find out all the conditions necessary to obtain a license. The property must meet certain technical requirements.
For example, in the city of Alicante, since 2018, you can get a license only for an apartment that is on the ground floor and has a separate entrance. This is done so that tourists with suitcases do not interfere with the presence of permanent residents of a house.
