Thailand Privilege Visa
DIAMOND Membership

Since the 20-year Reserve Membership package is available only by invitation, the DIAMOND membership represents the longest validity period that applicants can access without an invitation.

The Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. (TPC), a government-owned entity, offers this membership to the public to give everyone an opportunity for an extended stay in the Kingdom with the maximum amount of VIP benefits possible.

The DIAMOND membership offers the most exclusive benefits and quality-of-life perks available. Unlike previous Thailand Elite Visa packages, the new Thailand Privilege program introduced a privilege point system, giving members greater flexibility in selecting their desired perks. With 55 privilege points, Diamond members have the freedom to utilize all available privileges according to their preferences.

Who is this Membership Tier Ideal for?

If you want a membership package with the longest validity period and the most luxurious privileges, but do not yet have an invitation to apply for the Reserve membership, then the Diamond membership is the ideal choice.

Even if you are hoping for the coveted Reserve membership, you can use Diamond membership to stay in Thailand while you work towards getting an invitation. If you do happen to receive the invitation during your stay, you can upgrade your 15-year membership to enjoy the pinnacle of convenience and comfort in Thailand.

This is also a very effective decision if you want to stay long-term in Thailand and plan on making full use of all the points and benefits. Having a high number of points and more privileges to spend on provides you with greater value, but maximizing your usage of these points will be easier if you will be staying in Thailand for long periods of each year.

Benefits of the Thailand Privilege Diamond Membership

The Thailand Privilege Diamond membership package includes a wealth of new benefits and additions, making it superior to the old Thai Elite Visa options. These include:

Privilege Points System

This feature enables you to redeem privilege points for various perks of your choice, giving you more decision-making power. Unlike the previous Thailand Elite Visa packages, you aren't limited to a select amount of privileges. Points can be redeemed to acquire any of the privileges on offer.

  • As a Diamond member, you can acquire 55 points on an annual basis.
  • Every year, your privilege points are reset. For example, if you spend 20 points in one year, it will still revert to 55 points the following year.
  • It is advisable to use up all your points in a single year, as any points you have will not carry over to the subsequent year.

What perks can be redeemed using the Thailand Privilege Points?

With the 15-year Diamond membership, you can use your points to gain access to any of the available benefits offered by TPC. These perks are all separated into five distinct groups.

There are far too many available rewards to list here in their entirety. Some examples from each perk category include:

  • Stay: Free hotel nights, discounts on hotel dining, and real estate partner perks.
  • Travel: VIP greetings, airport transfer, airport lounge access, car rentals, and special deals.
  • Leisure: Shopping center personal assistants, special offers and discounts at leading restaurant chains, special deals at sporting events, and premium access to concerts.
  • Health & Wellbeing: Free rounds of golf, spa treatments, access to fitness centers, health and dental checkups, beauty and wellness treatments.
  • Wealth: Wealth advisory sessions, networking events, and legal consultations.

Easier application and immigration procedures

  • ED Visa holders are now eligible: If you possess an ED Visa, you can apply for the Thailand Privilege Visa, provided you obtained your visa through legitimate measures and attended an authorized education facility and program.
  • Applying as a Chinese applicant is easier: As a Chinese applicant, you will be pleased to know that you no longer have to report to Interpol and that background checks will be a lot faster.
  • Faster application procedures: You can complete your application more easily and in a shorter amount of time compared to other long-term visas.

Upgradable from the old Thai Elite Visa Packages

If you are a current holder of an old Thai Elite Visa, you can switch over to the Thai Privilege Diamond membership package by paying a fixed upgrade fee of 100,000 baht. The validity of your new membership will be based on the remaining validity period of your Thai Elite Visa. You also need to spend an additional fee every year until the expiry of your membership, the amount depending on your current Thailand Elite Visa package.

  • Elite Easy Access: 125,000 baht per year
  • Elite Privilege Access: 125,000 baht per year
  • Elite Family Alternative: 150,000 baht per year

How to apply for a Thailand Privilege Diamond Membership Package?

Before starting your application, it's best to consult a government-partnered General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) for assistance in applying for your visa. A GSSA is authorized by TPC to guide you through the Thailand Privilege Visa application, making sure you receive your visa quickly and seamlessly. All their services are offered free of charge due to government subsidies, ranging from in-depth application review processes to being able to submit your application to TPC on your behalf.

7 primary steps to Thailand Privilege membership application process

  • Contact your GSSA and request an application checklist for the Diamond membership package. This will list all the required documents and forms you need, helping you with gathering the right ones.
  • Complete the forms, pay the application fee, and send all documentation to your GSSA. They will review all items and inform you if anything is missing or if any additional documentation is required.
  • After your application is submitted by your GSSA, an immigration officer will be assigned to conduct your background check. Your GSSA will share with you login details for the online application portal, allowing you to monitor your application status.
  • Upon successful completion of the background check, you will be receiving an approval letter and payment instructions. The Thai government authorities will contact you if they need any additional items from your end.
  • Read the payment instructions to pay your membership fees directly to TPC. You have a total of 30 days after receiving the approval letter to pay your fees.
  • Once you have paid your membership fee, you will receive a welcome kit from TPC, consisting of a welcome letter and membership ID. Once this kit is in your hands, you can also apply for an optional physical membership card.
  • Contact the Member Contact Center to book an appointment to affix your visa to your passport. You can choose to affix it at either a Royal Thai Consulate or Embassy (if applying abroad), a Thai international airport (if applying abroad), or the Thai immigration office (if applying in Thailand).
