Your tourist licence, handled for you.

Everything you need to legally rent your property to guests in Torrevieja and Alicante — document review through to registration.

Want to rent your home or investment property on Airbnb in Torrevieja or Alicante? You need the official Tourist License — the Vivienda de Uso Turístico, or VUT. Listing without one carries fines of up to €30,000.

We manage every step, from reviewing your documents to the final registration, so you can start hosting confidently and legally. You save the time, skip the bureaucracy, and know the property meets every requirement before a single guest books.

The process

Six steps to a legal listing.

The order matters — each stage depends on the paperwork from the one before it. We run them in sequence so nothing gets rejected and sent back.

  1. Step 1

    Preliminary review

    We check whether the property meets the basic legal and technical requirements — before you spend anything.

  2. Step 2

    Urban Compatibility Certificate

    We apply for the certificate at your local Town Hall.

  3. Step 3

    Responsible Declaration

    We submit the declaration to the Tourism Department.

  4. Step 4

    VUT registration

    The property receives its official licence number, in the form VT-XXXX-XX.

  5. Step 5

    Police notification

    We register the property with the authorities so guest check-ins can be reported.

  6. Step 6

    Tax and legal guidance

    Ongoing support with the obligations that come with the licence.

What we'll need

Documents for the application.

Get these together and the file goes in without delays.

Owner documentation

For individuals: DNI, NIE or passport. For companies: the tax ID (CIF), incorporation papers and a power of attorney for the legal representative. All of it valid and in date.

Property documentation

The full address, number of rooms and bathrooms, the title deed, a valid energy efficiency certificate, the occupancy certificate where available, the property information sheet and your latest IBI / Suma receipt.

After approval

What the licence obliges you to do.

Register the property

It goes into the official Tourist Housing Registry and receives its unique VT number.

Report guest information

Every stay is reported to the Police or Civil Guard.

Declare the income

Rental income must be declared whether you are resident in Spain or not.

Tax, briefly

Spanish residents. Rental income is declared in your IRPF as real estate capital gains. You can deduct expenses such as cleaning, maintenance, utilities and commissions. If the property is let by the day or week without hotel services, no VAT applies.

Non-resident owners. Income is declared through Form 210 (IRNR).

We don't just manage your property — we take care of every fiscal and administrative detail, so you can rent with total peace of mind.
