Indonesia is a very popular destination among digital nomads. Areas like Bali are the choice for these online entrepreneurs because of the lower cost of living compared to the country of origin and a better quality of life surrounded by natural beauty.
With the world wanting to quickly leave the pandemic phase, Indonesia is now offering special visas for 5 years to digital nomads to come back to their country. In addition to the long visa period, digital nomads do not have to pay any income tax as long as they stay in Indonesia.
The arrival of these digital nomads is expected to be able to regenerate the local economy which was badly affected by the pandemic because they spend more and stay longer than ordinary tourists. Without the arrival of tourists, Balinese return to ancestral activities such as agriculture and seaweed harvesting.
