Working Remote in Indonesia might not be on everyone’s radar. But as the world becomes more comfortable with remote work, the options of places to work from continue to expand. If you like tropical climates and working on the beach, then you should consider Indonesia for your next stop.
Bali your first stop for Working Remote in Indonesia
Bali has been a well-known hot spot for digital nomads and tourists alike for years now. You’re likely to find a vibrant community of digital nomads. And while it can get crowded during the peak season, it remains affordable. A villa with a pool right on the beach may set you back a fair amount, but if you look in Lovina, on the northern coast, you could likely find a great place for $300/month. Bali also boasts decent internet speeds. Most hotels and cafes offer WiFi with a typical connection speed of 512kbps – 2mbps.
If the “it” thing isn’t your thing, Lombok and the Gili Islands sit right to the east of Bali, and are no less beautiful. And if you’re more of a city-dweller, Jakarta is one of the least-expensive capital cities in the world.
Keep in mind most tourist visas only last for 30 days in Indonesia. You can apply for different visas, but be aware that the authorities have been stricker with digital nomads the past few years than they were in the past.
