About these cities

About Ajmer

Ajmer is a bargain hunter's dream, with a 1-bedroom in the city center at $83/mo and a monthly public transport pass for $5/mo, so your money stretches absurdly far. The catch is that local salaries average $410/mo and English proficiency is limited, which makes earning remotely the only sane play here. Add an air quality index of 105, an arid climate, and a very small expat community, and you get a cheap, functional base rather than a comfortable long-term home. Treat Ajmer as a low-cost pit stop for digital nomads chasing a FIRE score of 82, not a place to settle into retirement.

About India

Skip this one if you need a straightforward retirement or nomad visa: neither exists, and PR/citizenship access is complex and difficult. Rent under $151/mo in city centers makes it a fit for budget-focused remote workers with existing income solutions who can tolerate medium expat safety and moderate political stability.
