Bali’s new digital nomad visa will let you live there tax free
After Spain, Estonia and Venice, Indonesia, Bali has introduced such a visa program for people working from home. The five-year digital nomads visa is expected to be launched soon by the country. Now that the several attractions and beaches in Bali are gradually reopening to overseas travellers, the government is looking for options to bring back tourists to improve the local economy. Commenting on the situation, the Indonesian Tourism Minister, Sandiaga Uno, said that sporting events, five-year visa program and ecological tourism are being created for remote workers. And these should bring some 3.6 million (nearly 36 lakh) international tourists back to the beach nation. “This should help create over 1 million (10 lakh) jobs for Indonesians,” he said.
The government has said that digital nomads will be exempted from paying any taxes, till the time they earn overseas and not in their country. The tax exemption point is surely going to attract people.
