Undeclared accommodations, things to prepare before leaving OTA
If you get notified and move, it's too late. Start by checking if your building is eligible for reporting.
2026.08.14
As platforms require the submission of business report information sequentially, lodgings that have been operating without a report are looking for ways to respond. Typical cases include operating an officetel as a lodging business or putting off the reporting process.
Rather than responding after receiving an eviction notice, the order is to check the current status and check whether the report can be reported first.
๐ Types of unreported status
situations | Can I report it | remarks |
The reporting requirements have been met, but only the procedure has not been completed | enabled | After preparing the documents, proceed with the report |
The use of the building does not meet the lodging business declaration requirements (for example, an officetel) | Not possible in principle | A change of use or review of a separate business type is required |
Does not meet rural and fishing village bed and breakfast requirements (living area, floor area) | Reviewing other types | Requirements such as general hospitality need to be reconfirmed |
โ Things to check now
Is the use of a building ledger suitable for lodging business reporting
Is it a building that can be reused if it doesn't fit
If applicable, what type of report (general lodging business/rural village/tourist pension) does it fall under
Is it necessary to supplement facilities to meet hygiene and fire protection standards
How to manage the expected period until a report is completed and the operational gap between
๐งญ The order to consider when switching reports
Check the purpose โ Prioritize whether it is possible to report based on the building ledger
Select type by requirement โ Determination of the reporting type according to residence/floor area/local conditions
Facility supplement โ Maintenance of inadequate hygiene and fire safety standards
Report received โ Submission to the competent city, county, or ward office
Platform document update โ After the certificate is issued, it is submitted sequentially to the registered platform
Since registration and deferment criteria differ from platform to platform even while the reporting process is in progress, Comparing the document policies of different platforms in advanceThis is a way to reduce operational gaps.
