The method to go AFK without getting kicked is not a complex one. All that you need to do is watch TV, as this will allow you not to have to worry about your character getting kicked.

The reason why the game will not kick your character is that it considers you watching TV as an activity and thus makes your character active where just standing around will cause the game to think you are inactive and will kick you from the lobby.

Players just need to sit down at a TV and turn on the shows. You can utilize this strategy where any TV is but will be the safest partaking in your own apartment where other players can not reach you and possibly kill you when you are away from playing. 

Now, it is essential to note that if you are on PC and minimize your game window to do other things on your computer that GTA V Online will still count you as inactive and kick you from the lobby after 15 minutes even if you are watching TV.

You have to be in the game entirely for this method to go AFK without getting kicked to work properly when playing on PC.
