The Challenge

Your AL License Is at Risk. Here's Why.

In Porto, one neighbor complaint can trigger a license review. Between SIBA deadlines, tourist taxes, and building politics, protecting your license is a full-time job.

License Cancellation Risk

Porto's condominium rules allow neighbors to vote against AL properties. One noise complaint, one trash issue, and your license could be under review. The city is watching.

Hours Lost to Bureaucracy

The SIBA government portal is outdated and crashes frequently. Manual entry of passport data for each guest takes 15-20 minutes—multiply that by dozens of bookings per month.

Tourist Tax Complexity

Porto's €3/night TMT tax has exemptions for children under 13 and medical stays. Manual calculation is error-prone and audits are increasing. Get it wrong and face penalties.

Sunday Night Stress

The 72-hour deadline looms. You're scrambling to submit registrations before Monday while other hosts enjoy their weekend. One missed submission means fines of €250-€2,500.

Data Privacy

Not All Automation Services Are Equal

Most workflow tools route your sensitive guest data through US servers and use it to train AI. We take a different approach.

FAQ

Questions? We've Got Answers.

Everything you need to know about protecting your AL license in Porto.

What is the Neighbor Shield and how does it work?

The Neighbor Shield is a QR code you place in your building hallway. When neighbors have a complaint about noise, trash, or other issues, they scan the code and report to our AI assistant first. The AI immediately sends a polite WhatsApp message to your guests asking them to address the concern. This resolves most issues before they become formal complaints that could threaten your license.

How does the Porto Tax Auditor calculate tourist tax?

Porto charges a €3/night TMT (Taxa Municipal Turística) for each guest over 13 years old, capped at 7 consecutive nights. Our system automatically calculates this based on your booking data, identifies exempt guests (children under 13, medical stays with documentation), and generates audit-ready reports each month.

What's included in the Accountant Packet?

Each month you receive a professional PDF containing: all SIBA submission confirmations, TMT tax calculations broken down by booking, exemption documentation, and a summary report. Your accountant gets everything needed for tax compliance in one document.

Why do you focus only on Porto & Vila Nova de Gaia?

The Ribeira region has unique challenges: strict condominium rules, active neighbor associations, and specific TMT tax regulations. By focusing exclusively on this market, we've built deep expertise in local compliance requirements and neighbor dynamics that generic services can't match.

What exactly is SIBA and why do I need to comply?

SIBA (Sistema de Informação de Boletins de Alojamento) is the Portuguese government's mandatory guest registration system. All Alojamento Local (AL) property owners must submit guest passport data within 72 hours of check-in. Failure to comply can result in fines from €250 to €2,500 per violation.

How does the AI Passport Scanner work without an app?

Guests receive a link to our web-based scanner. They simply point their phone camera at their passport's MRZ zone (the two lines of code at the bottom). Our system reads the data instantly, validates it, and pre-fills the SIBA form. Works on any smartphone browser, no download needed.
