🇵🇹 ChargeAutomation + SEF / SIBA Guest Reporting (Portugal)
Authority: Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF) via SIBA
In Portugal, every accommodation provider must report all foreign guest details to the Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF) through its SIBA online platform.
This national system supports immigration control and tourism regulation, making accurate reporting a legal requirement for hotels, guesthouses, and local lodgings (alojamento local).
ChargeAutomation connects directly with SIBA to make this process simple and fully automatic.
The platform gathers guest information at check-in, verifies document types, and submits the registration form within the mandatory three-day period.
Because everything happens digitally, property managers can meet SEF obligations quickly and without manual uploads.
Our integration supports both individual and group registrations and stores every confirmation for future audits.
In addition, ChargeAutomation checks each file before submission to reduce errors and improve data quality.
This ensures complete compliance with Law 23/2007 and Ordinance 287/2007, which define how accommodation reporting must be carried out for tourism and immigration control.
Furthermore, all records remain encrypted and stored safely for the legal retention period, ensuring GDPR-level privacy.
As a result, Portuguese hotels and lodging operators save time, prevent mistakes, and guarantee that every guest is properly reported to SEF.
They also enjoy a smoother, paper-free workflow that improves accuracy and builds trust with the authorities.
