AL License: Switching AL Management in Portugal

If you’re a property owner with an active AL (Alojamento Local) license in Portugal, you may not realise just how easy it is to switch your current management partner, without cancelling or reapplying for your license.

Whether you’re unsatisfied with performance, communication, or simply ready for a more professional approach, transferring your license to a new operator is more straightforward than you might think.

What is an AL License and why does it matter?

The “Alojamento Local” license is mandatory for short-term rental operations in Portugal. It legalises your property as a tourist accommodation and registers it with the national tourism board. It’s a key asset and one you don’t want to lose unnecessarily.
