Thailand Privilege Visa 2025

• PLATINUM: 1,000,000 baht per additional family member
• DIAMOND: 1,500,000 baht per additional family member
• RESERVE: 2,000,000 baht per additional family member

Every membership (except for the Bronze membership) comes with a certain number of privilege points that refresh every year. Below are the benefits of the Thailand Privilege Points System:

• Members gain more flexibility over which perks to choose from and utilize through redeeming points.
• The points required for certain privileges are often inexpensive, with most privileges costing between 1 and 3 points.
• The points reset back to the default amount for each membership package each year. This means that members who didn’t get the benefit they wanted in one year can redeem their points for it in the following year.

The full list of Thailand Privilege Point benefits and their costs is far too long to cover in its entirety, but here are some examples that should give you an idea about average costs:

• 1 point: Used to purchase privileges such as airport transfers, complimentary dining nights, spa packages, access to fitness centers, and Elite Personal Liaison services.
• 2 points: Used to acquire privileges such as airport transfers via luxury vehicles, dental checkups, health checks, free rounds of golf, and tickets to sporting events.
• 3 points: Used for privileges such as domestic roundtrip flights, airport transfers for longer hauls, private tours, health and wellness packages, and tickets to world-class concerts.

The differences are mostly in terms of pricing, types of memberships on offer, and the benefits available for each. The new Thailand Privilege membership packages, for example, provide far more VIP benefits that can be customized to your liking thanks to the Thailand Privilege Points System.

Thailand Privilege memberships also include new, additional privileges that are not present with the old Thailand Elite Visa program. These include:

• Free VIP seating and movie ticket deals
• Personal accident insurance
• Access to co-working spaces and networking events
• Events and special gifts on birthdays and on a seasonal basis
• The ability to rent private jets, yachts and boats
• Wealth advisory seminars
• And much, much more

Yes, as a Thailand Privilege member, you have the right to consult a Thailand Privilege staff for support on your needs. By spending 1 to 2 privilege points, you have access to the services of an Elite Personal Liaison (EPL) to help you with the following duties:

• 90-day reporting (1 point)
• Guidance on how to open a Thai bank account (2 points)
• Guidance on how to acquire a Thai driver’s license (2 points)
• Other government-related services

If you currently possess or used to hold a Thailand Education Visa, you can still qualify for a Thailand Privilege Visa, provided you can prove that you obtained your Thailand Education Visa through legal means and that your education institution is legitimate. You can accomplish this by completing an Education Visa Holder Acknowledgement Form and providing the required documents from your education institution.

If you currently possess or used to hold a Thailand Volunteer Visa, you will not be eligible to apply for a Thailand Privilege Visa. There is currently no news on whether this rule will change.

Yes. If you are a holder of an old Thailand Elite Visa, you can choose to upgrade to one of the 4 newer Thailand Privilege memberships (Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Reserve). However, you must be a holder of one of the following card types:

• Elite Easy Access Card
• Elite Family Excursion Card
• Elite Family Alternative Card
• Elite Privilege Access Card
• Elite Superiority Extension Card
• Elite Ultimate Privilege Card
• Elite Family Premium Card
• Lifetime Card

Currently, the Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. has introduced a promotion that completely waives the 100,000 THB upgrade fee and runs from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025.

TPC has changed its policy on restricted nationalities. All countries on the UN’s sanction lists, except for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), are now eligible to apply for the Thailand Privilege Visa. The previously ineligible nationalities that can now apply for the Thailand Privilege Visa include:

• Asia: Afghanistan, Pakistan
• Africa: Central Africa, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Sao Tome and Principe, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan
• Middle East: Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Syria, Yemen

Yes, you can. After earning your membership ID and welcome letter, you will be able to apply for a physical Thailand Privilege card. This is completely optional and involves completing an entirely separate application. There are two benefits to having this document:

• You can provide physical proof of your Thailand Privilege membership to authorities as well as your friends, family, and co-workers.
• Some establishments may require membership cards as physical confirmation of your membership status. The inability to present a card may prevent you from using your privilege points at these venues.

A physical membership card can be sent either by mail to your address in Thailand or you can pick it up at the Thailand Privilege desk at the airport (the same location you affix your new Thailand Privilege Visa to your travel document).

Yes, as with the old Thailand Elite Visa, you do not need a re-entry permit, you can open a Thai bank account and acquire a Thai driver’s license, and there are no annual fees required to maintain these benefits.

Furthermore, you can redeem privilege points to obtain the following perks to help with these tasks:

• Free bank account assistance
• Free driver's license assistance
• Free agent to support you with your 90-day reporting
• Other government benefits

The Thailand Privilege Points System gives you the option of spending your points on these services, or doing them yourself and keeping the points for other fun and rewarding perks. This element of choice is not present with the old Thailand Elite Visas, which had static benefit offerings.
