If you are planning on visiting or staying in Thailand with your family, the Thailand Elite Visa provides the ideal solution for a memorable and seamless experience. With extended stays and numerous family-oriented privileges, joining the Thailand Privilege Program and acquiring this visa offers the most convenient and beneficial way to enjoy Thailand with your loved ones.
Continue reading to discover more about the Thailand Elite Visa, how to obtain one for yourself and each of your family members, and all the benefits that make living in Thailand together easier and more fun.
Traveling to Thailand with Your Family Made Easy with the Thai Elite Visa
A major advantage of the Thailand Elite Visa is how easy it is for you and your family to obtain one. While you can only include your immediate family (such as your spouse and children), applying for the Thailand Privilege Program lacks the strenuous entry requirements, annual fees, and long processing times with other visa applications.
There are 3 membership packages you can choose that will enable you to add family members:
- The 10-year Thailand Privilege Platinum Membership
- The 15-year Thailand Privilege Diamond Membership
- The 20-year Thailand Privilege Reserve Membership*
*NOTE: The Reserve membership is only available via formal invitation from Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. (TPC).
Platinum and Diamond Family Options at a Discount
While immediate family members are not exempt from membership fees, they end up paying less than the primary applicant. The cost breakdown is listed below for the Platinum and Diamond memberships:
- Platinum Membership: 1,000,000 baht per additional family member (the primary applicant has to pay 1,500,000 baht)
- Diamond Membership: 1,500,000 baht per additional family member (the primary applicant has to pay 2,500,000 baht)
The Reserve membership costs additional applicants 2,000,000 baht, but your family members are only eligible if you received an invitation from TPC. For this membership, you will have to pay 5,000,000 baht if you are the primary applicant.
Multiple-Entry Visa with 1-Year Stay Limits (Extendable)
After becoming a Thailand Privilege member, you and any family members you’ve included will receive a 5-year multiple-entry visa, which is renewable a number of times depending on your membership package. You can reside with your family for up to 1 year without needing to leave the country. To reset their stay limit, each visa holder simply needs to leave Thailand for at least one day and return.
If you want to remain longer, you can extend the stay limit at the Thai Immigration Office for another year, saving you the hassle of needing to book a flight for you and your family each year.
Fastest Airport Processing and Lounge Access for Long Trips with Kids
With a Thailand Elite Visa, your family can freely access the premium lane for faster processing of your passports as well as exclusive airport lounges whether you’re departing or arriving. This is especially helpful if you’re bringing children with you as they won’t have to wait a long time to clear immigration and can relax in one of TPC’s premium lounges after a long flight.
No more languishing in line or the public waiting areas with tired and cranky kids! You’ll be through immigration swiftly and have a comfortable lounge to keep you sane whenever you’re in a Thai international airport.
Thailand Privilege Benefits for Families Visiting Thailand
A major reason for obtaining a Thailand Elite Visa is the variety of FREE benefits for you and your family members to enjoy. With the Thailand Privilege Points system, you can redeem points for access to free privileges, allowing you to customize your membership with perks that suit your and your family’s needs.
You and your family will share the same pool of privilege points received yearly with the membership. How many points you’ll receive is determined by the membership package:
- Platinum membership: 35 points per year
- Diamond membership: 55 points per year
- Reserve membership: 120 points per year
There are hundreds of free perks that you can redeem with Privilege Points. Here are just a few of the perks that will benefit your family most:
Free Memberships at Leading Resorts and Luxury Hotel Stays
Becoming a Thailand Privilege member lets you and your family stay for free at leading hotel and resort chains across Thailand. Chains such as Dusit Hotels & Resorts and Anantara Vacation Club allow you to enjoy an additional night’s stay without additional expenses when you redeem at least 1 privilege point or book a single night in advance.
Free Activities With Your Family
Using the privilege points redemption system, you can redeem points for free activities to share with your loved ones. These include free rounds of golf at select courses, free movie tickets, tickets to events and concerts, tours, leisure activities, and many more across the country.
Free Domestic Flights
If you applied for either the Diamond or the Reserve memberships, you can take your family to other parts of Thailand through complimentary round-trip flights. If you’re a Gold or Platinum member, you can still enjoy special discounts on flights for added convenience and affordability.
Discounts on Vehicle Rentals
If you want to enjoy taking your family on road trips throughout Thailand, you can rent vehicles of all kinds at a discounted rate. Various car rental services will offer you special deals that you can leverage as a Thailand Elite Visa holder.
Thailand Privilege Benefits for Families Settling in Thailand Long-Term
There are several perks and benefits tailored for families wanting to settle with you in Thailand, such as:
Discounted Relocation Services
If you want the flexibility of settling in different regions in Thailand with your spouse and children, you can acquire assistance in moving your furniture and belongings from one home to the next. As a Thailand Privilege member, you can get a 20% discount on all relocation services operated by Goodmove, regardless of your membership.
Discounted International School Tuitions
If you have any children and want them to study in Thailand, you’ll be able to receive discounts at select international schools. As tuition costs are often high, this makes it more affordable for you to enroll your children in the international school system so they can get an education more like the one they would receive in your home country.
Discounted Health and Medical Services
There are many health and medical perks you can leverage at leading hospitals and medical centers while settling in Thailand. The services offered will vary depending on the location, but by redeeming a select number of points, you and your family members will be granted access to these benefits:
- By redeeming only 1-2 points, you and any family members with you can enjoy free dental treatment and teeth cleaning at dental clinics or hospitals.
- Spending 1-2 points also lets you attend therapy programs (such as colon hydrotherapy and ozone therapy) at select medical establishments.
- You can redeem 10 points for health checkups at certain hospitals. The same amount of points also unlocks other premium medical services at select hospitals such as health screenings, hormone-boosting programs, and more.
Special Deals
Alongside the Thailand Elite Visa, you’ll also gain access to exclusive discounts and deals on shopping, dining, entertainment, and other activities and services you can enjoy with your family. Examples of these exclusive promotional offerings include, but aren’t limited to:
- Discounts at leading restaurants and store venues
- Unlimited buy-1-get-1-free movie tickets
- Complimentary birthday gifts
- Buy-1-get-1-free promotion at Mos Burger (usable once a month)
