Ivanova is also hesitant to call Bali her subsequent house because of the steep climb.  ,
Everyone was low when I first visited Bali. She said,” I spend almost the same amount of money as I do in Moscow right then.”
Some locals are reaping the benefits of the creation, despite it. And as the flow of digital nomad raises rates, some Balinese feel priced out, which causes conflict between locals and remote-working expats.  ,
” Buildings have become out of our Balinese reach,” said Bali native Nyoman Denny.  ,  ,  ,
Increasing RATES
In Bali, there were 40 % more digital nomad living there last year than there will be in 2023. According to the number of digital nomadic permits granted yearly, there are estimated to be more than 3, 000 of them currently living there.
Although these figures may not seem overwhelming for an area that is roughly eight times as big as Singapore and has a population of 4.4 million, it is possible that this is gross underestimation because a tourist card can be used for a month and can be renewed for an extra 30 days.
Some countries don’t need a card at all, like some others.
In Bali in the 2010s, a new wave of online nomads arrived as high-speed net was starting to reach smaller towns and suburbs as the city’s core.
According to Hansen Tandiyanto, the owner of Bali-based co-working area network, Biliq,” for these online nomad, it is much less expensive to achieve the life they want in Bali than where they come from.”
” Bali has strong expat communities now, which is another reason.” They are able to find someone who is from the same nation, speaks the same language, and practices the same society. Thus Bali feels like a home away from home to them.
