Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $1,410/month all-in living costs in Canggu (about $700/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 76/100, internet 70/100, and visa difficulty rated "Easy". Scooter, and brutal traffic: A scooter is essential — Canggu has no real public transport and the shortcut lanes clog at peak hours. Wear a helmet, get an IDP, and use Gojek/Grab if you'd rather not ride. QRIS and a local SIM: Indonesia's QRIS QR payments and e-wallets (GoPay, OVO) run daily life — link them with a local number. ATMs are everywhere; carry rupiah for warungs and small vendors. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Canggu city guide.

Berawa, Batu Bolong, or calmer Pererenan: Berawa has the beach clubs and co-works; Batu Bolong is the café-and-surf core; Pererenan and Nyanyi are the quieter, trendier rice-paddy edges; Echo Beach is the surf end.
