You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
Before the change in the legally granted duration of stay, it was possible, once per entry, to extend the duration of stay by an additional 30 days. This possibility remains even now that the length of stay has been increased from 30 to 60 days.

DTV visa is valid for 5 years, with multiple entries and is designed for digital nomads, students of Muay Thai boxing or other government-recognized arts (culture, cooking...) any relatives of the visa holder up to people who choose Thailand as a place of treatment.
However, it is not a visa that allows you to work for a company in Thailand or do business predominantly in Thailand.
Basically with this visa you will receive, each time you enter Thailand a stamp that allows you to stay in the Kingdom for 180gg. The nice thing, however, is that each entry Will be extendable, at its own volition, for another 180gg.
This means that anyone who requests DTV will be able to Stay up to 360gg in Thailand legally and without having to justify anything to anyone. It will then suffice to take a weekend trip to Malaysia, Cambodia, or another destination outside Thailand and return by restarting the day count from scratch.
