Digital Nomad Cities for 2025: Where Indians Can Work and Travel Easily

In 2025, working from a laptop while staying in another country is no longer something new. It’s called being a digital nomad. Many Indian professionals—especially freelancers, remote employees, and small business owners—are picking this lifestyle because it gives them freedom. You can work during the day and enjoy a new place in your free time.

But to do this well, you need to pick the right city. The place should be affordable, safe, have good internet, and allow long stays. It should also have enough food options, especially for vegetarians and those who don’t eat meat every day.

This guide by Logistics shares the most popular cities where Indians can work and live comfortably in 2025.

Chiang Mai, Thailand: Peaceful and Pocket-Friendly

Chiang Mai has been popular among digital workers for a long time. It’s in northern Thailand and is quieter than Bangkok. The cost of living is low, the internet is fast, and there are many cafés and workspaces. Indians will also find familiar food here, including rice-based meals and vegetarian options.

Monthly rent for a decent apartment starts around ₹18,000. A tourist visa for Thailand can be extended without too much trouble. The people are polite, and the weather is mostly pleasant.

Bali, Indonesia: Work with a View

Bali is known for its beaches and temples, but now it’s also a common place for remote work. Many Indian content creators, designers, and tech workers are choosing Bali for its mix of nature and work spots.

Popular areas like Canggu and Ubud have strong internet and plenty of short-term flats. You can also rent a scooter and move around freely. A visa like the B211A allows you to stay up to 60 days, and it can be extended.

Logistics suggests Bali as a great option for Indians who want a peaceful place to work without spending too much.

Lisbon, Portugal: Work in a European City

Lisbon is among the few places in Europe that offer a digital nomad visa. It’s safe, sunny, and has good public transport. While it’s not the cheapest city, it’s still affordable compared to other European capitals.

Indians can apply for Portugal’s long-stay visa. A basic one-bedroom apartment may cost around ₹50,000 a month. You’ll find co-working hubs across the city, and Indian food is also available in some areas. The time zone also suits those working with clients in Europe.

Tbilisi, Georgia: Stay Visa-Free for a Year

Tbilisi has started gaining attention from Indian nomads. The best part? You don’t need a visa for up to one year. This makes it very simple to move, live, and work there. The city is scenic, and basic needs are affordable. Monthly rent is around ₹15,000 to ₹22,000 for a clean apartment.

The Internet is fast and stable. Tbilisi also has many cafés that don’t mind if you sit for hours with your laptop. The people are friendly, and English is spoken in many places.

Buenos Aires, Argentina: South America on a Budget

Though far from India, Buenos Aires is becoming a hotspot for people working online. The cost of living is surprisingly low, especially for food and rent. It’s a good choice for Indians who work for companies in the US or Europe, due to its time zone.

There’s a new digital nomad visa available, which makes it easier to stay for a few months. The culture is lively, and you’ll always find something to do after work.

What Indians Should Know Before Choosing a City

Visa Options

Every country has its own visa system. Some allow long tourist stays, while others now offer special digital nomad visas. Before making a move, always check the official government site for the latest rules. Don’t trust third-party sources blindly.

Cost of Living

Make a simple budget based on rent, food, transport, and internet. Cities in Southeast Asia are more affordable, while European cities can be costlier. Try not to go over ₹60,000 a month when starting out.

Internet Connection

This is very important. Make sure the city you pick has stable internet, especially if your work includes video calls, online meetings, or large file transfers.

Coworking and Cafés

Cities like Bali, Lisbon, and Chiang Mai have a lot of shared office spaces. These places let you meet other people working online. It’s also easier to stay productive than working from a bed or noisy hotel room.

Daily Needs

Check whether vegetarian food is available nearby. Also look at the weather, safety level, language barrier, and transport options. A place that suits someone else might not work for you.
