Overview

Membership-based long-term residency for high-net-worth individuals offering 5–20 year stays across five tiers (THB 650,000–5,000,000), with multiple entries throughout validity.

The Thailand Privilege Visa is a membership-based long-term residency program offering 5–20 year validity across five tiers. Issued by the Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd., it provides multi-entry access for high-net-worth individuals, investors, and remote workers without local employment requirements, filling a critical gap in Thailand's standard visa categories.

Fees range from THB 650,000 to THB 5,000,000 depending on tier. The visa is renewable, allows dependents, and includes premium concierge, expedited processing, and administrative support. Processing time varies. Work in Thailand requires a separate permit; spouses cannot work.

This visa is ideal for affluent expatriates and digital nomads seeking prestigious long-term residence with minimal bureaucratic friction.
