Thailand Elite Visa (Privilege Entry)

Thailand Elite is the right choice for foreign nationals who: • Want to live in Thailand long-term without annual Immigration office visits • Do not qualify for the LTR Visa (which requires higher income or investment thresholds) • Prefer the simplicity of a one-time purchase rather than ongoing annual extension management • Value the concierge services (airport meet-and-greet, limousine transfer, spa credits, hospital discounts) that come with membership

It is not the right choice for: people who need a work permit (Elite does not include work authorisation); people who frequently need to prove visa status to Thai government offices (the Elite card + membership letter serve this purpose but some bureaucracies prefer a standard immigration stamp).

Thailand Privilege Card's current tier structure (verified against Thailand Privilege, August 2026):

Bronze — 5 years: THB 650,000. The entry-level tier, with fast-track immigration at major airports. No Privilege Points. Withdrawn from sale on 30 September 2026, after which Gold becomes the entry tier.

Gold — 5 years: THB 900,000. 20 Privilege Points per year.

Platinum — 10 years: THB 1,500,000. 35 Privilege Points per year.

Diamond — 15 years: THB 2,500,000. 55 Privilege Points per year.

Reserve — 20 years: THB 5,000,000. 120 Privilege Points per year. By invitation only.

All membership fees include VAT. Family and spouse add-ons are available at each tier. Fees and tier structures are set by Thailand Privilege and change periodically — we confirm the current figures with them for your case before you commit to anything.

• Long-stay visa valid for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years depending on tier — multiple-entry • 1-year permission to stay per entry stamp (extended at Immigration, but with Elite concierge assistance — you do not stand in a queue) • VIP airport services: fast-track Immigration, dedicated lane, limousine transfer • Government concierge desk for 90-day reporting and annual extension • Partner benefits: spa, golf, hospital, and dining credits • No work authorisation — cannot legally work in Thailand under Elite alone

Elite members still technically need annual extension and 90-day reporting — but the Thailand Privilege Card company handles these through their concierge service as part of the membership. Members do not attend Immigration in person for routine renewals.

Applications are submitted to Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. directly. Visa Centre facilitates the application and document preparation. Processing: typically 30–60 days from application submission to membership approval. Membership starts from the date of first entry on the Elite visa.

We prepare your application documents, coordinate with Thailand Privilege Card, and advise on the tier that suits your stay timeline and usage patterns. For clients switching from an existing long-stay visa (Non-OA, Non-O) to Elite, we manage the transition timing.
