Thailand Privilege (elite) visa

Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. sells membership packages that include a long-term visa and lifestyle services. Current packages are Bronze (THB 650,000, 5 years), Gold (THB 900,000, 5 years), Platinum (THB 1,500,000, 10 years), Diamond (THB 2,500,000, 15 years) and Reserve (THB 5,000,000, 20 years); higher tiers add annual privilege points. The e-Visa system lists the Privilege Entry Visa (PE) and the Special Entry Visa (SE) for members.

After your membership is approved and paid, Thailand Privilege issues a membership certification letter, valid 90 days. Apply in the e-Visa system for the Privilege Entry Visa with your passport, a photo, proof of current location and the letter; the visa is valid five years with multiple entries. Members can also arrange visa affixation on arrival through the company's member contact centre.

Your permitted stay is stamped by the immigration officer on arrival. Foreigners staying in Thailand for more than 90 days must report their address to the Immigration Bureau every 90 days, except for categories with special rules such as LTR holders, who report once a year. Extensions of stay are handled by Immigration Bureau offices inside Thailand.

Membership gives a long stay but not the right to work, which requires a work permit. It is not permanent residence. Membership terms, transfers and fees are set by the company and change from time to time.
