[Chambéry, France, January 28, 2026] — Nomad Stays, the purpose-built booking platform that pioneered instant booking mid-term accommodation for digital nomads, today announced its acquisition of RemoteCasa, a fast-growing Latin American nomad accommodation network.
The deal instantly supercharges Nomad Stays’ reach into Latin America with over 1,000 additional verified properties across 16 nomad hotspots in Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina — cementing Nomad Stays as the category leader for digital nomad lifestyles worldwide.
With this acquisition, Nomad Stays now connects tens of thousands of remote professionals each month to flexible, WiFi-verified accommodations across Europe, Asia, and now many more in Latin America — accelerating its mission to make "exploring the world while working globally " a seamless global reality.
This move aligns with explosive growth in remote work and digital nomadism. According to industry data, over 40 million professionals now identify as digital nomads, a number that continues to rise as flexible work becomes the global norm. Nomad Stays is building the modern AI-fueled infrastructure to support this movement — offering verified stays, live availability, instant booking, transparent pricing, and community connection far beyond what legacy or leisure travel platforms deliver.
“RemoteCasa built an incredible supply network and passionate community across Latin America — regions where nomads truly thrive,” said Mark Phillips, Founder of Nomad Stays. “Bringing their 1,000+ properties and local relationships into our ecosystem gives us instant scale in Latin America and moves us closer to a world where digital nomads can quickly find professional, affordable, suitable temporary home bases to explore from without compromising their online work."
For nomad travelers, this integration delivers immediate benefits:
1,000+ new verified listings across 16 nomad cities in Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina
Flexible pricing tiers — from budget-friendly apartments to premium work-friendly homes
Nomad-first standards:high-speed WiFi, dedicated workspaces, and community-rich environments
Instant booking through the Nomad Stays platform, ensuring efficiency, reliability and transparency
For property partners, the opportunity dramatically expands their global exposure — connecting them to Nomad Stays’ 30,000-50,000 monthly active users, and up to 600,000 monthly AI Agent requests, deep data-rich technology, and a global network of professional remote workers seeking medium- and long-term accommodation.
For host countries, having a dependable partner servicing a lucrative multi-month traveler market means they can easily expand their destination marketing campaigns for maximum economic gains without resorting to high-volume short-stay tourists.
"This acquisition marks the culmination of RemoteCasa's mission to connect nomads with incredible destinations across 16 cities,” said Dan Lawrence, CEO and Co-Founder of RemoteCasa. “We set out to give independent professionals real homes, real connections, and real belonging in Latin America. Now, through Nomad Stays’ established platform and global footprint, that vision scales to a worldwide audience.”
The acquisition marks a pivotal moment for the global nomad movement — and for the category Nomad Stays is defining. By integrating verified listings, instant transparent booking, and a thriving global community, Nomad Stays is creating the digital home base for millions of remote workers, optimizing their work-life balance and global adventures.
"The real disruption isn’t just travel—it’s how we live, work, and connect globally. This acquisition is a step toward a world where geography no longer limits opportunity." — Linda McCall, co-founder, Nomad Stays
Nomad Stays Launches StayDirect, Sending Digital Nomads to Book Directly with Property Owners
Chambéry, France – 17 December 2025
Nomad Stays, the global accommodation startup for digital nomads and remote workers, has launched StayDirect, a new feature that refers guests from Nomad Stays directly to a property’s own booking system.
Instead of handling the full reservation on the Nomad Stays platform, StayDirect enables properties to receive high-intent traffic from digital nomads and then complete the booking on their own website or booking engine. This gives property owners more control over communication and guest relationships, while still benefiting from Nomad Stays’ global distribution as a specialist digital nomad platform.
“Many property owners want access to the digital nomad market without giving up control of their own booking systems,” said Founder of Nomad Stays, Mark Phillips. “StayDirect does exactly that: we showcase great nomad-ready stays and offers to thousands of digital nomads each day, then forward prospective guests straight to the property’s own booking channels.”
How StayDirect works for property owners
• Qualified nomad traffic
Nomad Stays markets short- and medium-term rental offers to digital nomads and remote workers, then refers guests ready to book directly to the property’s own booking page.
• Direct relationship with guests
Property owners still manage pricing, booking rules, and policies with Nomad Stays, but can now communicate pre-sales directly with the guest through their own booking system or website, maintaining full control of the guest relationship.
• No need to adopt new systems
Owners keep their existing booking tools and workflows. StayDirect simply connects nomad demand with the property’s current online booking setup.
• Flexible for different property types
Works for coliving spaces, hotels, serviced apartments, boats, retreats and other long-stay-friendly accommodations that want to attract remote workers.
• Ready for AI travel agents
StayDirect helps properties increase visibility as AI Agents increasingly scan and interpret accommodation information across the web, ensuring a host’s product pages can be accurately found and understood.
• Reduced platform reporting obligations
Because bookings are completed directly on the property’s own system, StayDirect does not trigger DAC7 or platform-based tax reporting requirements. Property owners retain full control of their own compliance processes, just as they do with any direct booking from their website.
Benefits to the digital nomad market
For digital nomads, StayDirect expands the range of nomad-ready properties available on Nomad Stays by allowing more hosts — including those who prefer to manage bookings on their own systems — to join the platform. This means travellers gain access to a wider selection of curated stays, all meeting the same nomad-friendly standards around workspaces, Wi-Fi, and longer-stay suitability.
Whether a property uses StayDirect or the traditional agency-style model, all hosts on Nomad Stays benefit from the same alignment with nomad needs, and travellers enjoy the same consistent discovery experience. StayDirect simply adds another pathway for properties to participate, increasing choice without changing the core value nomads rely on.

About Nomad Stays
Nomad Stays is an accommodation booking startup offering properties for over 80 countries built for digital nomads, remote workers, and location-independent professionals. By focusing on nomad-ready properties and longer stays, Nomad Stays helps both travellers and property owners tap into the fast-growing remote work travel market.
Paris, France – 18 June 2025 – Nomad Stays, a leading digital nomad accommodation platform, has officially challenged the Deemed Supplier Regime (DSR) Provisions in the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) directive, requesting their annulment before the Court of Justice of the EU.
The legal action, filed against the Council of the European Union, contests key provisions that fundamentally alter VAT treatment for short-term rental (STR) platforms. Nomad Stays argues that the new rules impose unjustified regulatory burdens, and fail to respect fundamental legal principles.
“These provisions are based on the incorrect assumption that STR services are in direct competition with, and operate identically to hotels. They disregard the diversity of digital nomad accommodation offering” stated Aymeric de Moncuit, partner at Mayer Brown and legal representative of Nomad Stays. “The new VAT regime threatens economic viability for independent operators, contradicting essential principles of fiscal neutrality and legal certainty.”
The company’s challenge is based on seven key legal arguments, including manifest errors of assessment, infringement of the principles of proportionality and equal treatment, and violations of fiscal autonomy and subsidiarity. Nomad Stays emphasizes that the directive introduces unnecessary administrative complexity, jeopardizing the digital economy’s innovative ecosystem.
As the case moves forward, Nomad Stays urges policymakers to re-evaluate the approach to VAT regulations for digital platforms, advocating for solutions that protect entrepreneurship and innovation while ensuring fair competition.

Nomad Stays is pleased to announce a new ‘digital nomad meetup tool’ for its Stay partners around the world.
The new ‘digital nomad meetup tool’ allows its Trusted Stay Partners & Coworking partners to easily create & share their digital nomad events with thousands of digital nomads.
To create the new service Nomad Stays has partnered with Wozin App, a digital nomad event sharing app already used by thousands of digital nomads.
With over 10,000 digital nomads using the Nomad Stays platform every month the partnership allows a much bigger visibility of digital nomad events around hundreds of regions featured on the Nomad Stays platform.
I met Wozin App Founder, Daniel Nagy, while nomading in Spain last year.
One of our Trusted Stay Partners had used Wozin App to create a Meetup for us Founders to meet the digital nomads in Tarifa.
It didn’t take long talking with Daniel to realize we each shared a passion for helping the digital nomad lifestyle and the alignment between Wozin and Nomad Stays was pretty obvious.
Loneliness, boredom, and isolation are common problems for some digital nomads as they travel to new countries.
Finding like-minded people can be hard for some when they are working so much.
The new Digital Nomad Meetup Tool makes it easier for both digital nomads and Stays hosting nomad events to connect with each other.
Today’s announcement expands on the Nomad Stays – Wozin partnership developed in 2022.
