Everyone wants to move to Bali. And why wouldn’t they, what with gorgeous weather, beautiful surrounds, friendly locals and affordable living?

These days, it is much easier to live anywhere around the world thanks to the internet. Digital nomads and remote workers now can work from anywhere they like and one of the top choices is almost always Bali.

So if you’re a digital nomad planning to move to Bali, how much would you need and how much would it cost you to stay in Bali?

The First Thing To Consider is Housing

Anyone earning in a stronger foreign currency would find Bali extremely affordable. You can stay in a beautiful house or villa, rent a motorbike or scooter or even a car, enjoy delicious, healthy and nourishing food from the myriad of cafes all around and travel Indonesia while you’re here. You can party, surf, and shop, especially in South Bali.

Where would you stay while in Bali? A helpful tip is to pick an area or a neighbourhood. Canggu, Seminyak and Ubud are popular with digital nomads, thanks to easy access to cafes, fast wifi, great entertainment, beach clubs, and like-minded neighbours.

There are hundreds of villas to choose from and apartments and rooms in guesthouses. Depending on your budget, you can choose the type of villa that you like – number of bedrooms, size, facility and distance to and from the beach.

If you’re looking for a villa, be sure to go through a trusted, credible and experienced villa rental company like Bali Coconut Living, which comes with an excellent track record and thousands of customer reviews so you won’t get scammed or find yourself at the short end of any deal.

Another thing to factor in is the cost of a Visa. You will need a Visa to stay in Bali for longer than 30 days. At the moment, there is no Digital Nomad Visa but you can speak to a credible and established visa agent to identify one that would most suit your needs. A Business Visa, for example, would cost approximately USD 200 – USD 300 to obtain, not including flights in and out of Indonesia and other requirements.

Remember To Factor in Travel Insurance

Medical care and emergency savings, and depending on your lifestyle, we would say that digital nomads and remote workers would enjoy a comfortable life here in Bali with costs of living of about USD 700 – USD 2000 per month.
