'Digital nomad' visas are easier to get than ever - especially if you're rich

Money can buy many things - a tasty meal, a nice car, a luxurious home.
But what about a long-term stay as a digital nomad on the beautiful Indonesian resort island of Bali? Well, for people with $130,000 to spare in their bank account, that could become a reality too.
Digital nomads are "people who choose to embrace a location-independent, technology-enabled lifestyle that allows them to travel and work remotely, anywhere in the world," according to one firm that links independent consultants with clients.
As of June 2022, more than 25 countries and territories had issued digital nomad visas to draw remote workers, whose number has increased since the pandemic started.
The Indonesian government, however, is taking a slightly different approach through a "second home visa" that permits wealthy foreigners, professionals, investors and retirees to stay in the country for up to 10 years.
Watch the video above to learn how this visa stacks up against the ones issued by other countries, and to learn about the difficulties policymakers face in making it a success.

    As someone who's been following the new visa, I doubt there will be many takers. You can already get a visa to Indonesia as an investor without freezing 6 digits in an Indonesian bank account. Also, this visa has nothing to do with "digital nomads", so not sure why that's being pushed here other than for the hashtag.

For example, if you decide you really like a country and want to plant roots, it is best to have residency as it opens doors and opportunities within that society. However, if you prefer to be a long-term tourist without the strong connections to a particular place, then the digital nomad visa is a great deal.

    This only works for freelance workers. During the pandemic we had several employees who wanted to do this. However, by doing work while in another country (even if it's online for another country), you need to pay income taxes in said country. Meaning that your employer will need to set up a separate tax administration for coworkers living and working in Indonesia to pay taxes there. Which is generally just not worth the effort.

    I'm not exactly sure CNBC know what exactly 'Digital nomad' really means... They are focusing on "digital" part but totally ignoring the 'nomad' part. If are staying in one country for more than a year (even 6 months is too long for me) than that can't considered "nomad" you are just working abroad. The true nomad does not buy properties and rarely stays longer than 2 months in one country mostly living in AIRBNBs or similar set-ups. The whole idea is to change locations cause you get bored doing the same things. That way you can avoid double taxation (for sure you are already taxed in your own country no matter what)

    Over the years of traveling I’ve met lots of “ digital nomads “ at the hostels of 5-10 euros a night. Not all of them are successful, lots of them working 4-8 hours glue to their computer. Usually they go to more affordable countries none of them could live In Australia in that kind of money.the one who can you don’t find them in hostels anymore the rent a flat somewhere in the world and stay longer. Asia is very affordable to be in. when you get pay an ok salary, but even there if you want to have high standards living you’ll need to pay more. It’s very easy to live in India you can get long visa, and it’ll affordable but also price tag be accordingly. It’s like driving fiat dreaming about Ferrari

And another 100-150$/ month as rent in a reasonable place to stay. If you are nomad or want to work from home, just check this place. A true heaven.

    As a digital nomad based out of the USA are people considered an itinerant by the IRS or do they keep a home or apartment? Obviously keeping a home or apartment that you are never at makes it less efficient/more expensive. So i'm guessing, most do something like, "hey mom and dad can i use your address as my place of residence" Correct me if i'm wrong! It's funny how this very important detail is left out by so many vloggers and without mom and dad, it would not be possible.

Store/business owners are happy because more money comes in, but consumers (majority of the population) are left with hiked up prices in goods, housing and services. Also, nomads will stay for a year or two and then leave to the next trendy beach paradise, meaning the business owners will thrive for one-two years and then face near zero demand because locals stopped living and consuming there and just go broke (happened in my hometown). Also, nomads' consumption is very different to locals, it often leads to more waste being produced and overwhelming local sanitary services. This is not to mention practices like sex tourism and hiring of cheap labor which due to the lack of regulation the local governments enforce leads to a situation nearing slavery.
