First-hand: the visa, the coworking, what it costs, the community — and a live calendar of what’s on this week. Everything you need to move to Bali and build from the island.
Bali — and Canggu in particular — has quietly become one of the densest founder and digital-nomad hubs in Asia. Reliable fibre, a wall-to-wall calendar of meetups, mature coworking spaces and a cost of living a fraction of San Francisco or Singapore. If you’re thinking about moving to Bali to work remotely or build a company, this is the practical, no-fluff guide.

See who’s hosting →Yes. Canggu and Ubud have one of the densest concentrations of remote workers, founders and builders in Asia, with mature coworking spaces, a constant calendar of meetups, and a low cost of living relative to the West.
Most use the B211A visit visa (up to 180 days) or Indonesia’s E33G remote-worker (“digital nomad”) KITAS, which allows up to a year for remote workers earning foreign income. Rules change often — verify current requirements before booking.
A comfortable nomad lifestyle in Canggu runs roughly $1,500–$3,000/month including a villa or apartment, scooter, coworking and eating out. Lean setups are possible from around $1,000.
