TLDR : Answer Summary

The eligibility for the Thai Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) does vary by country, with concerns particularly noted for certain African nations. There's a mention of a list of eligible countries, but many are reported missing from the African section of a reference website. It is advisable to consult the specific Thai Embassy's website for accurate information and to note that processing times can be significantly longer for clients from African countries, often exceeding a month.

The problem is, if the client wants to apply at a near by consulate, most, if not all, state it will take over a month to process any visa for individuals from most African countries. Can your client spend a month plus in Cambodia or Indonesia hoping to get this visa processed?

If in Zimbabwe, you apply via the South Africa consulate.

Not in this case... check the Embassy in Canberra.

P.S.: He don't want to apply... he's running a gym in Thailand.

This is not an official site even if it tries to look like it. However, it does have what it says is a list of eligible countries. In the Africa section many countries are missing
