The local Accommodation Proprietaries Have New Schedules to Renew the Licence
The Portuguese government has announced that it will extend the deadline for local lodging establishments to submit their proof of activity until 23h59 on the 13th of December. This decision was made due to the difficulty that owners have been experiencing when trying to register their activity on the official platform.
The website has been receiving a lot of traffic which is causing issues with the registration process. The Economy Ministry and Sea, Housing and Administrative Modernisation have confirmed these technical issues on the online platform. The landlords have already reported these issues and the Economy Ministry has requested an extension to the original end date, which was on the 7th of December 2023.
The Association of Local Lodging in Portugal (AALP) has received complaints from people who have tried to insert the necessary documentation into the online platform but have seen the error message, "a communication error occurred with the external entity. Please, make a new process." This document is essential for proving the activity of local lodging establishments and for maintaining their operation. Failure to submit this document may result in the cancellation of their activity by the local authority.
