ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : 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.
