Cemagi is the quieter Canggu alternative — 10 minutes north on the Bali coast, with the same beach access and surf breaks (Pererenan and Seseh are the local breaks) but dramatically lower nomad density and lower rents. Cemagi village is small and Balinese-residential; the nomad cluster is along Jl Pantai Cemagi running to the beach. Indonesia's E33G remote-worker visa (USD 60k/year income, 1-year + 1-year extension) is the longer-term route; standard 30-day visa-on-arrival (extendable to 60 days) covers shorter stays. The structural draws: same Bali ecosystem (Canggu coworking 10 min south, Ubud 45 min east) but with rural texture, rice paddies still bordering the village, and roughly 30% lower rents than Canggu proper.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
