The Thailand Elite Visa – officially renamed Thailand Privilege Card in 2023 is a long-term multiple-entry visa giving foreigners 5 to 20 years of residency in Thailand, and has 5 tiers: Bronze, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Reserve.
Who Is Eligible for a Thailand Elite Visa
The Thailand Elite Visa is a long-term, multiple-entry visa for foreigners who want to live in Thailand. It comes in 5, 10, 15, and 20-year terms, across five tiers from Bronze through Reserve.
Most of our members are retiring in Thailand, relocating with family, or running operations remotely and want a stable base in Asia without quarterly border runs or 90-day extensions. For most tiers there is no income requirement, no annual renewal, and no requirement to leave the country to keep the visa current.
Almost any nationality qualifies. Which tier suits you depends on how long you intend to stay and which privileges you’ll actually use.
Privileges of Thailand Elite Visa Membership
The visa is the smallest part of what an Elite membership buys you. The larger part is having a team that handles the immigration paperwork, banking, address registration, the 90-day report for the next 5 to 20 years.
What’s included:
- A multiple-entry visa for 5 to 20 years, depending on tier
- Private arrival and departure lounges at the major Thai airports
- A dedicated immigration channel, separate from the public queue
- VIP reception and chauffeured airport transfer
- Assistance with 90-day reports and address registration
- Assistance opening a Thai bank account in local currency
- A personal Liaison Officer for reservations and day-to-day requests
- Preferred rates with partner hotels, spas, golf clubs, and restaurants
- An annual health check

Customer Reviews
Very friendly professional and helpful staff. They explained every step and were always available any time I had questions.
Scott Serres
I obtained my Thai Elite Visa right when Covid hit and I could not leave the country in which I work for visits to Thailand. However, the wonderful staff at Thai Elite have kept me informed constantly about changes to entrance requirements and all of the changes to services they provide. It has been a tremendous help and comfort and now, at the end of 2022, I will retire and be able to start my journey to Thailand. Thanks to everyone at Thai Elite Visa!

So we took the plunge and decided to move to Thailand and with Michelle’s knowledge and guidance we decided on the Elite Visa. They were fast and efficient in answering our residency questions and best thing is that there were no hidden costs, no appointment and all was in English. Thank you for your help.

Hawryluk Legal took all the guess work out of deciding which Elite Visa was best for my circumstances. I went directly to their offices and had all my answers before I left…in English! Feeling much more confident about my Elite Visa decision.
