Is the DTV visa suitable for a South African family staying in Thailand for 2 months while working online?
Good day!* We are planning to travel to Thailand for about 2months every year. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 toddlers) we are digital nomads and will be doing online teaching during our holiday. Will the DTV visa be best for us? Feels like a big hassle for 2 months😅 We are South Africans!*
Thank you!
Thank you!
Answer summary
The original poster inquires whether the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) is suitable for a family of four planning to travel to Thailand for around two months each year while doing online teaching. Multiple comments suggest that the family can utilize the 60-day visa exemption available to South Africans upon entry and potentially extend their stay by an additional 30 days if needed, avoiding the complications associated with applying for a DTV.

Don't worry about visas.
Nobody care about online work.
Just don't tell everyone what you do :)

Heloo, julle kan elke keer entry kry op 60 dae visa exemption. so dit is nie nodig om n Visa te kry nie. Julle kan net voor die travel loer en seker maak dat die Exemption steeds 60 dae is en nie 30 dae nie. Hulle verander dit soms. Indien hulle dit verander het 30 dae toe dan kan julle net op dag 29 van julle vakansie na die Immigration kantoor toe gaan en extended 30 dae bo op dit kry. di is dan 1900 baht per persoon. julle gaan op die meeste n half uur daar wees dit is Chop Chop. My man en dogtertjie doen dit elke 60 dae
As jy vrae het kan jy my Dm dan kan ek dalk meer verduidelik.

You can already get a 60 day entry stamp without a visa and apply for a 30 day extension, giving you 90 days total.
