The real challenge is finding a remote job then finding a city with good internet.

Yeah, not only that but:

1. Work authorization. It would be great if the "digital nomad visa" thing really happened at some point 2. Taxes 3. COL 4+ those things you mentioned

I know a few devs who have their home base in Bali.

Seems to be a nice place for remote work.

The hard part is finding companies that will hire you in wildly different time zones and figure out all the payroll headaches. Not every company wants or is able to have a bunch of 1099 contractors doing core work for the business.

Yep, and also add on social/medical/pension paperwork and permits…
