Frequently Asked Questions

The Thailand Privilege Card (formerly Elite Visa) is a long-term privilege entry visa program launched in 2003 by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to attract affluent foreign nationals and promote long-term tourism and investment. Members of the program enjoy exclusive benefits, including up to 20 years of visa validity, VIP greetings & fast-track immigration at airports, and access to a range of lifestyle privileges across 5 categories: stay, travel, leisure, health & well-being, and wealth. The Thailand Privilege Card is ideal for those seeking a hassle-free stay with added privileges and a premium lifestyle in Thailand.
The Thailand Privilege Card members enjoy a comprehensive range of benefits, all designed to ensure their stay in Thailand is as seamless and comfortable as possible. These exclusive perks include VIP greetings facilitated by an Elite Personal Assistant (EPA), fast-track immigration services, and access to luxury hotels, golf courses, fine dining, and special events, along with personalized support from an Elite Personal Liaison (EPL) during their stay in the country. With up to 20 years of visa validity, members can enjoy a hassle-free and premium lifestyle while living or traveling in Thailand.

Yes, for the Platinum package and above, members can apply for supplementary membership for family members, with fees ranging from THB 1,000,000 to THB 2,000,000 per person.

The Thailand Privilege Card offers a much more luxurious and convenient option compared to the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV). While the DTV requires regular renewals and doesn’t provide any extra benefits beyond the basic visa, the Thailand Privilege Card grants up to 20 years of visa validity, eliminating the hassle of constant renewals. The Privilege Card is designed for those seeking a seamless, premium lifestyle, offering VIP airport services, fast-track immigration, access to top-tier hotels, golf courses, fine dining, and personalized support.

In contrast, the DTV is far more basic, providing no added perks or luxury services, and only offers a straightforward visa without the exclusive privileges that the Thailand Privilege Card provides. If you’re looking for an elevated experience in Thailand, the Thailand Privilege Card not only offers long-term stay options but also delivers an unmatched level of comfort and convenience, while the DTV falls short in offering the same level of ease and luxury. Simply put, the Thailand Privilege Card is the superior choice for anyone seeking a premium lifestyle in Thailand without the ongoing hassle of visa renewals or limitations.

The Thailand Privilege Card program offers several significant advantages over the Retirement Visa. While the Retirement Visa typically requires a minimum age of 50, the Thailand Privilege Card is available to a broader range of individuals, including those under 50, and provides greater flexibility with up to 20 years of visa validity—eliminating the need for frequent renewals. Additionally, the Thailand Privilege Card offers a much more luxurious experience, including VIP services like fast-track immigration, access to high-end hotels, golf courses, wellness programs, and personalized concierge support.

 

While the Retirement Visa provides basic residency in Thailand, the Thailand Privilege Card is designed to enhance member’s entire experience, offering unmatched convenience, luxury, and peace of mind.
