​Bali has long been a haven for digital nomads, offering a unique blend of culture, natural beauty, and a vibrant community of remote workers. Recognizing this, the Indonesian government has introduced visa options to accommodate and attract digital professionals.

A digital nomad visa is a document that gives you the legal right to work remotely while residing outside of your country of permanent residence.

It therefore enables holders to retain their current employment based in another country while residing in their country of choice.

Applicants often receive tax benefits as well as the right to stay and in a place such as the European Union for a much longer period of time than the other visa options would allow.

Bali offers a supportive environment for digital nomads, with numerous coworking spaces, networking events, and a community of like-minded individuals. The cost of living is relatively affordable, and the island's rich culture and natural beauty provide a balanced lifestyle.

Yes, but the proposed 5 year one is not yet in effect. However, Bali have a few visa options for digital nomads. 

The E33G and the B211A! So what are they and what do they offer?
