Bali has become a popular destination for skilled professionals looking to live and work in a vibrant and dynamic environment. However, job opportunities for expats are limited due to Indonesian regulations in various industries such as requiring businesses to employ ten local workers for every foreign hire.
While the job market for foreigners is small, certain industries are experiencing growth, including:
Bali is not a place to relocate in search of job opportunities. The market for foreign workers is extremely limited, and most expats moving to Bali do so with a job already secured or as remote workers and entrepreneurs.
If you’re ready for a change from your usual villa or café setup, Bali offers an incredible variety of coworking spaces designed for productivity, connection, and community.
