Do South African citizens need an eVisa to enter Thailand for 60 days, or can they get a visa on arrival?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I am a South African citizen and am slightly confused if I need to get an evisa to enter for 60 days or if I can receive it on arrival.
Many thanks for your assistance

Answer summary
South African citizens can enter Thailand without the need for an e-visa or prior visa application, as they are eligible for a 60-day visa exemption stamp upon arrival. This stamp can be extended for another 30 days for a fee of 1900 THB. However, it is required to complete the Thai Digital Arrival Card prior to arrival, which can be done via the official website.

You do need to complete the Thai Digital Arrival Card before arriving in country. This gets completed a few days before you depart.
Here is the link to the office website.
