FAQ

What is the Thailand Privilege Visa?

The Thailand Privilege Visa is a long-term visa for foreign nationals who want to live in Thailand under comfortable conditions. The program is arranged through membership in Thailand Privilege Card and allows holders to stay in the country for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years, depending on the selected package.

How long can the visa be issued for?

The validity period depends on the selected membership category: Bronze and Gold are issued for 5 years, Platinum for 10 years, Diamond for 15 years, and Reserve for 20 years. The membership fee starts from THB 650,000.

Do you need to confirm income or have a Thai bank account?

As a rule, the program does not require applicants to confirm income, sign an employment contract, or show annual proof of funds in a bank account, as may be required under some other visa formats. The main conditions are meeting the program requirements and paying for the selected membership package.

Can you work in Thailand with the Thailand Privilege Visa?

No, the Thailand Privilege Visa does not by itself grant the right to work for a Thai company or carry out employment activities in the local market. Official work in Thailand requires a separate permit. This visa is better suited for long-term residence, leisure, managing personal affairs, or running international business outside the Thai labor market.

What additional services does a program member receive?

The Thailand Privilege Visa includes not only long-term stay, but also additional privileges such as airport assistance, fast-track immigration, support with 90-day reporting, lifestyle services, and assistance with everyday matters in Thailand.

Can you open a bank account in Thailand with this visa?

Yes, program members can receive assistance with opening a bank account in Thailand. This is one of the practical benefits of the status for those planning long-term residence, property rental, major purchases, or regular payments in the country.
