Bali is increasingly being called one of the capitals for digital nomads. Employees of even large global companies, who can afford not to go to the office, choose life by the ocean.
Now the island has a new reason to solidify this status: entrepreneur Steve Laidlaw, founder of Digital24, has announced the launch of the Tech Excellence Center in 2026. This step could make the island an even more attractive place for IT professionals, marketers, and creatives from all over the world.
Digital24 is a rapidly growing service specializing in the guaranteed distribution of press releases through global platforms like Yahoo Finance, Google News, and MSN News. In recent years, the company has become a real find for small and medium-sized businesses, helping them expand internationally. The logical next step in their development was to form global teams and search for talented digital nomads worldwide. And in Bali, their numbers are steadily increasing.
"Bali is more than just a location; it's a state of mind," explains Steve Laidlaw, founder of Digital24. "We want to attract the brightest specialists in digital media, and by creating a center in a place that inspires and gives freedom, we show that the balance between work and life is directly linked to innovation. Our clients deserve cutting-edge solutions, born from teams where people are happy and inspired."
The upcoming center will bring together developers, content strategists, and marketers. For many, this will be an opportunity to combine a serious career with life by the ocean, surfing, and the rich cultural environment of the island. According to Digital24's plan, the transformative atmosphere of Bali is meant to be a catalyst for new ideas and innovative products.
The project supports a global trend: more companies are seeking ways to adapt to flexible work styles. Digital24 aims not only to strengthen its technical infrastructure but also to offer employees a unique experience — becoming part of an international community formed right here on the island.
The opening of the Bali Tech Excellence Centre is planned for March 2026. The company is currently negotiating with local authorities and coworking spaces for partnerships. For Bali, this is a chance to firmly establish itself as the "paradise for future nomads," where work and leisure become a unified lifestyle.
The Balinese authorities seem open to this turn of events. Digital nomads are among those especially welcomed on the island. They have already created quite good conditions for legalizing extended stays here. A real hit has become the Remote Worker KITAS — the E33G visa (Remote worker visa).
The visa is issued for 1 year, allowing you to live in Indonesia, leave, and return to the country an unlimited number of times.
You can bring your family or open a bank account. Holders of this document enjoy the same rights and benefits as those provided, for example, by the investor KITAS. It also allows receiving discounts on tickets to attractions and medical services. And most importantly — the price! As of today, it's perhaps the most affordable way to acquire a KITAS for living in Bali.
