Tourist licence for non-residents

Get your Spanish tourist rental licence, done for you.

You upload your documents, we do everything else. Fixed price, a real lawyer signs it off, and you only sign.

We handle the town hall report, the regional registration, your VT number, and even your annual rental tax. You do not need a Spanish digital certificate, because we file on your behalf by power of attorney. You never deal with the Spanish administration yourself.

02Full cycle

What we handle for you

One service covers the whole compliance cycle, from the first certificate to the yearly tax return.

The licence and the regional registration

We obtain your tourist rental licence and the regional registration. In the Valencian Community that is your VT number, the regional Valencian tourist licence reference, format VT followed by six digits and a letter. There is no national registry number.

The urban compatibility certificate and the paperwork

We obtain the urban compatibility certificate, the town hall document confirming your property may be used for tourist rental, and prepare every form. This step is the usual bottleneck and can take 1 to 3 months, so we start it early.

The annual Modelo 210 on your rental income

Once you rent, you owe Modelo 210, the annual non resident income tax return on your rental income. Our tax advisor files it for you every year, so your licence stays compliant.

Renewal reminders

Your licence is reviewed at year five. We track the date and remind you in good time, then handle the renewal so nothing lapses.

Your first step

The legal review.

Review included

The complete service.

599 eurostotal, VAT included

150 euros to review, 449 euros if you proceed.

For a villa or independent house.

  • Everything in your legal review
  • Preparation of the agreed application
  • Legal support through the process
  • Clear updates and a point of contact

You start with a 150 euros document review that gives you a firm written answer on whether your property qualifies, and it comes off your price in full. Complete is then 599 euros in total for a villa or house on its own plot, and 699 euros if your property sits inside a community of owners, because there we also handle the three fifths community agreement that a new tourist let has needed since April 2025. Both figures include VAT: you upload your documents and we handle the whole licence, reviewed by the lawyer and the tax advisor, and you only sign. Complex cases such as rustic land, a prior urban compatibility report, regularisation, or a change of holder are quoted individually in your written answer, before any work starts. Official fees charged by the town hall and the regional government are always separate and passed through at cost. Your annual Modelo 210 tax return is a separate service at the ordinary price, never dearer for being our client.

A few useful answers

Let us make things clearer.

For the particulars of your home, we start with the legal review.

Can every property get a tourist licence?

No. The answer depends on the location, the property, community rules where relevant, and the requirements in force. The review gives you an assessment for your circumstances; a licence cannot be guaranteed.

What happens if my property cannot proceed?

You receive the written assessment from your review. You do not have to purchase the complete service. Where appropriate, we explain the obstacles or the information still needed.

Do I need to be in Spain?

Much of the process can be handled remotely. Your lawyer will explain any identification, digital certificate or power of attorney requirements for your case, together with any separate costs.

How long does it take?

It depends on the property, the documents and the relevant authorities. Once we have reviewed your case, we explain the expected stages and any known dependencies. We do not promise an approval date before that review.
