Identify Licenses

Process for licensing a tourism activity depends on nature of business.
First step is to identify which of the four groups of activities business fits into:
1. Hotels & other accommodation units;
2. Supporting structures to hotels & other accommodations;
3. Public camping & caravan sites;
4. Leisure & tourism complexes.
Then:
Request Information at Local Municipality (pedido de informação prévia). Process of obtaining an activity license starts with a visit to Municipality office where you intend to set up a business. Here you’ll be informed on relevant requirements for your particular leisure activity.
Local municipality then consults, Directorate General of Tourism (DGT) and Regional Coordinating Commission, when activity you propose to explore requires their involvement, as set in corresponding legal framework.
These entities have 30 days to issue a final conclusion on project.
Consultation period to contest verdict lasts for 8 days after reception of conclusion at Municipality, after which municipality has 20 days to issue a final decision on projects viability
Building Permit: request approval of architectural & safety project of leisure/ tourism activity and supporting infrastructures.
Local Municipality must always consult DGT and local Fire Brigade.
If DGT has reason to issue a negative response to project, it must notify investor and explain reasons to its conclusions, before conveying a pronouncement to Local Municipality;
Investor then has 8 days to respond in writing to DGT, which can advocate intervention of a committee to reevaluate matter. Upon reception of final decision from respective authorities, Local Council has a period of 20 days to issue a final declaration on proposal.
Local council will issue a building permit after approval of project in its detail.
Note: tourism & leisure activity investors must comply with applicable regulations set out by law to avoid any construction barriers that might cause difficulty to disabled & special need citizens.
Permit on Tourism Use (Licença de utilização turistica): Upon completion of construction work and when leisure establishment is totally equipped, whence it is ready to initiate its business activity, investor must request emission of a Permit to Tourism Use at local municipality.
Permit on Tourism Use license is issued after local council visits location and inspects site.
Approval Inspection for final classification (Vistoria aprovação definitiva da classificação): Investor then has 2 months (after Permit to Tourism Use license is issued), to request final approval of classification of tourism activity, which implies a visit from DGT to inspect site and classify activity.
In such cases where issues on specific circumstances exist, DGT must be consulted more directly. Some situations that require a closer involvement include:
a) Building work not subject to municipal licensing permits, but destined to modify classification or maximum capacity of tourism activity, or which may undermine minimum requirements for its current classification, all require authorization of DGT;
b) Building work done to inside of tourism establishment, not subject to local council licensing, or specific authorization from DGT, must always be approved by Fire Brigade;
c) Process for setting up restaurants & catering activities is handed over to local municipalities and approved by them, but is also regulated by official licensing legal framework for private construction work, taking into consideration that:
Request for prior information (pedido de informação prévia), should be organized under Administrative Rule 1115-B/94, of 15 of December, presenting documents pertinent to each case. In case of restaurant/ drinking establishments with dancing areas, local municipality must consult Civil Governor, who in turn has 30 days to issue a pronouncement on location, public safety and public order aspects. This pronouncement is final and valid for one year.
If pronouncement is not issued within legal period, it is considered to be approved.
Period for local municipality to deliberate on request for prior information is set in Law-decree nº 250/ 94: 30 days counted from day request is made, or 30 days from reception at municipality of pronouncement made by Civil Governor, when this is required.
d) Building licensing: request for a construction license must abide by Administrative Rule 1115-B/94 of December 15, with necessary documents applicable to each case, bearing in mind following special requisites:
National Fire Brigade pronouncement;
Directorate General for Energy pronouncement, to verify that electricity fittings abide by necessary safety regulations in such cases where establishment is a bakery, an ice cream parlor, or another establishment where cooking is undertaken;
Civil Governor Pronouncement, which acts upon safety aspects and public order matters in restaurant and other food & drinking establishments that have dancing rooms or other dancing areas, except when this pronouncement has already been issued during request for prior information stage.
Usability License: After construction works have been completed investor must put in a request to President of Municipality, for issue of a Usability License.
In subsequent period of 30 days a site inspection is made, after which President of Municipality has 15 days to deliberate and 8 days to notify promoter on outcome of decision, and amount due for emission of Usability License Permit. This permit is used to demonstrate conformity of construction work with approved project, as well as compliance of establishment with sanitation norms & fire prevention regulations.
Classification: Restaurants & other eating establishments can be classified as “luxury” or as “traditional”, depending on which requirements are met as described in respective regulatory guidelines. After presenting a request for classification of establishment at DGT, a site inspection is made within 45 days. After this visit, DGT has 15 days to issue its verdict.
