How the Visa Works

The Thailand Privilege visa is a “Privilege Entry (PE)” long-stay visa issued to members; delivered in 5‑year labels up to the tier’s total validity. Each entry can be stamped up to 1 year; the program assists with the annual in‑country extension and routine 90‑day address reporting.
It is separate from work‑linked visas and does not in itself grant a right to work or permanent residence.

Application Process (Simard managed)

Eligibility & Tier Selection — choose Bronze/Gold/Platinum/Diamond/Reserve based on stay pattern and benefit usage.
Document Submission & Screening — passport scan, photo, forms; background check by Thai authorities (typ. 4–8 weeks, nationality‑dependent).
Approval & Payment — program issues approval and payment instructions (bank transfer/major cards accepted).
Visa Issuance — affixation at a Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate abroad or at TIESC/BOI in Bangkok per appointment.
Arrival Services & Concierge — EPA meet‑and‑assist, fast‑track, and onboarding for member benefits.

Required Documents

Passport (≥ 1 year validity at application).

Tax & Compliance Snapshot (Not Tax Advice)

The Privilege Entry visa does not confer tax exemptions. If you are tax resident in Thailand (e.g., >180 days present in a tax year), foreign income remitted to Thailand may be taxable under Revenue Department rules; structure carefully with professional advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Thailand Privilege different from the LTR Visa?

LTR is a separate government program with targeted categories and, for certain groups, tax benefits (e.g., 17% PIT for some highly‑skilled). Thailand Privilege is a membership + visa model that focuses on convenience and lifestyle benefits, without tax incentives.

Is the Bronze tier still available?

Bronze (THB 650,000, 5 years, no points) has been offered as a limited‑time entry tier; several authorized agents report an extension through Mar 31, 2026. Confirm availability at the time of application.

How long does approval take?

Background screening typically runs ~4–8 weeks after complete submission; timelines vary by nationality and caseload.

Can I work on a Thailand Privilege visa?

The visa itself is a long‑stay tourist‑class privilege. It does not independently grant the right to work or PR; separate authorization would be required for employment.

What are Privilege Points?

Gold and above receive annual points redeemable for services (transfers, spa, golf, wellness, etc.). Bronze has no points. Points typically do not roll over year to year.

How do family add ons work?

Family add‑on fees vary by tier and promotion (e.g., published schedules for Platinum, Diamond, Reserve and periodic “next member” promos). We will confirm the latest structure before you enroll.
