What the Privilege Visa Offers

Valid for 5, 10, 15 or even 20 years depending on the chosen membership package.
Multi-entry visa status: holders can enter and exit Thailand multiple times without the frequent visa-run requirements common to other long-stay visas.
A suite of lifestyle and immigration-related privileges: VIP airport services, concierge support, assistance with 90-day reporting, and access to partner leisure, health and banking facilities.

Key Membership Tiers & Fees

Depending on the duration and level of package, fees vary as follows:

Bronze (5-year validity) – around THB 650,000.
Gold (5-year validity) – around THB 900,000.
Platinum (10-year validity) – THB 1.5 million.
Diamond (15-year validity) – THB 2.5 million.
Reserve (20-year validity, invitation only) – THB 5 million or more depending on terms.

Eligibility & Application Overview

To qualify for the programme, applicants must satisfy certain criteria:

Hold a valid foreign passport and be admissible under Thai immigration laws, with no serious past violations (such as major overstay or criminal convictions).
Complete the background check conducted by Thai authorities as part of the membership application process.
Submit the required documentation (passport copy, photo, application form, potentially PDPA consent) and pay the membership fee once approved.

Why This Visa May Be Right for You

Uninterrupted Residence Option: Ideal for individuals wishing to make Thailand their base without regular visa renewal hassle.
Premium Services & Status: Beyond mere residency, the membership offers a suite of tailored services and lifestyle perks.
Flexibility for Frequent Travel: Multiple entries and long-duration stays give significant flexibility for business, investment or leisure.
Simplified Compliance Path: The programme can streamline immigration formalities compared to switching between conventional visa types.

Important Considerations

The privilege visa does not in itself grant work rights; holders wishing to engage in employment must separately obtain the appropriate work permit or visa.
While the membership provides long-stay benefits, compliance with 90-day reporting, address notification and other immigration obligations still applies.
Selecting the right package requires careful evaluation of cost, duration, lifestyle goals and residency ambitions. Our team at BASE Law Firm assists you in aligning the package to your objectives.
Changes in immigration policy, or updates to the programme, may affect future terms—ongoing legal monitoring is advisable.
