New rules – Tourist registration number

single.php

Posted and filed under Newsletters.

Starting in January 2025, a new law requires all holders of tourist rental licenses to register their property and license details in the official property registry.

Upon registration, each property will receive a unique identification number, which will be mandatory for listing on online rental platforms. Without this registration number, property owners will be unable to advertise their rentals on these platforms from July 1st onward and may face fines for non-compliance.

Key deadlines

The law took effect on 2nd January, and all property owners must complete the registration process by 1st July, 2025. Without this registration, owners will be unable to promote their properties on platforms such as Airbnb or Booking.com

Rules & Penalties

  • No registration = No advertising: If a property is not registered, it cannot be listed on digital platforms (Booking.com, Airbnb, etc.).
  • Financial penalties & suspension: Owners who fail to comply may face fines, and their property could be removed from the tourist rental market.
  • Automatic deactivation: As of July 1, 2025, any listings without a valid registration number will be removed.
  • Platform responsibility: Online rental platforms must verify registration numbers and disable non-compliant listings.

How to Obtain Your Registration Number

To register your property, you need to request a unique identification number from the Property Registry. This number will be issued immediately upon request.

Required Documents:
✅ Tourist rental license
✅ Habitation certificate

      Good morning Ian, thank you for contacting us. This is a new law that has come out, I doubt if you already have this. My colleague Carlota will advise you under separate cover as she deals with the Tourist Licences. Thankyou.
