Thailand Privilege Visa
RESERVE Membership

The Thailand Privilege Reserve membership is the most unique and exclusive out of all the Thailand Privilege Visa packages. This is evident by the fact that to qualify, you need to be issued a formal invitation from Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. (TPC), the government-owned entity that runs the program. This invitation is only granted to a limited pool of around 100 applicants, but there are ways to improve your chances of an invitation.

The Thailand Elite Visa granted by a Reserve Membership is the only Thai tourist visa that enables you to live indefinitely in Thailand after your membership expires, allowing you to stay well beyond the initial 20-year validity period. In addition, it provides the largest number of perks of any Thai visa, with many being exclusive only to this membership.

For those committed to making Thailand a new or second home for the long haul and want the best possible experience in the Kingdom, there’s no better option than Thailand Privilege Reserve Membership, assuming you have an invitation.

Benefits of the Thailand Privilege Reserve Membership

The Reserve membership is only granted to a select number of applicants via invitation given its extensive array of high-end privileges. In addition, the Reserve membership includes a wealth of benefits that are not present with the old Thai Elite Visas and even the lower-tiered Thai Privilege memberships.

Privilege Points System

This system allows you to be able to freely choose which privileges to use without being limited only to a certain number at your disposal.

  • As a Reserve member, you earn an outstanding 120 privilege points on an annual basis, redeemable for any of the available perks.
  • These points reset to the default amount on an annual basis, so even if you only have around 50 or 60 privilege points remaining, it will default back to 120 at the start of the following membership year.
  • It is advisable to use up all your points in a single year, as your points will not be carried over in the following year.

What perks can be redeemed using the Thailand Privilege Points?

With the 20-year Thailand Privilege membership, you also gain access to a huge amount of privileges with 120 privilege points at your disposal. By spending points, you can unlock any of the available perks.

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.

Changes to immigration and application proceedings

  • ED Visa holders are now eligible: No longer are you barred from applying for the Thai Privilege Visa if you are a current Education Visa holder or used to hold one in the past. You can qualify for the membership as long as your visa was obtained through legitimate means.
  • Faster processing for Chinese applicants: As a Chinese national, you no longer have to be referred to Interpol or wait longer than other nationalities during background checks.
  • Easier and quicker process for new applicants: Application processes to apply for a Thailand Privilege Visa are a lot shorter and involve fewer pitfalls than other long-term visa applications.

How to apply for a Thailand Privilege Reserve Membership Package?

Prior to starting your application, it is best to consult a government-partnered General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) for professional assistance. GSSAs are entrusted by the TPC and will work with you to seamlessly navigate all application procedures. All GSSA services are free as a result of government subsidies, ranging from thorough application reviews before submission to even submitting your application on your behalf. They can even help you secure an invitation for the Reserve membership.

7 primary steps to Thailand Privilege membership application process

  • Contact your GSSA and inform them of your decision to apply for the Reserve membership. They will issue you a checklist of what’s needed as well as the relevant application forms. They will also ask you to provide proof that you were invited by TPC.
  • Fill out the forms, pay the 50,000 baht application fee, and gather all required documentation. Provide all these to your GSSA for an in-depth review. If everything is in order, they will submit your application to TPC through their online portal.
  • Your background check will initiate the moment your application is submitted. Your GSSA will share your login details for TPC’s online application portal, so you can monitor your application status throughout.
  • If your background assessment is a success, you will be issued an approval letter and payment instructions via email.
  • Follow the instructions to pay your membership fees to TPC. You have a total of 30 days from receiving the instructions to complete your payment.
  • After receiving your payment, TPC will send you a welcome letter and membership ID. Your membership starts from this date onwards and you can also apply for an optional physical membership card.
  • Book an appointment with the Member Contact Center to affix your new visa to your passport. You can choose either the Royal Thai Consulate or Embassy (if applying from overseas), Thai International Airport (if applying while abroad), or Thai immigration office (if you are applying in Thailand).

Timeline and Duration

The timeline varies depending on your nationality and whether you need to submit additional documentation during the application. Usually, it takes 1 to 3 months on average to receive your Thai Privilege Visa.

  • Background checks: between 4 to 6 weeks
  • Payment Confirmation: between 1 to 2 weeks
  • Welcome kit (welcome letter and membership ID): 5 to 10 working days
