We accept listings from most of the world.
Some countries however have either partial or wide ranging restrictions.
The restrictions may be due to traveller risk, war, contract performance issues, insurance issues, taxation issues, banking restrictions, cyber risk, administrative issues for Short Term Rental or tourism activities.
Where Full Payment options are not available Nomad Stays will not be able to collect the full amount of the booking from the nomad guest. Instead the guest will pay you directly, what we call “Pay On Arrival“.
Restricted Countries
Certain countries and regions have government, tax, or banking restrictions that affect how your listing can operate — including booking model restrictions, extra registration requirements, or Full Payment being unavailable. If your Stay is based in one of these countries, please contact us before applying to list.
No Booking Services (StayDirect® advertising only)
These countries currently do not permit Nomad Stays’ standard booking services — only StayDirect® advertising is available, where the guest books and pays you directly:
VAT/GST/Business Tax Number required
Certain countries require a VAT (or equivalent tax) number before you can list under either a Booking or Advertising model.
Tourism/Lodging Registration Number required
These countries require a tourism, lodging, or short-term-rental registration number before you can list.
