The Thailand Privilege Card (formerly the Thailand Elite Visa) lets you live in Thailand for 5 to 20 years. You get VIP airport service, exclusive lounges, and zero visa runs. Hawryluk Legal Advisors is the only Thailand Privilege Card GSSA where every applicant gets a licensed legal team, from eligibility check through 20 years of post-visa compliance, plus a complimentary 15-minute consultation to help you understand your options. Successful applicants will receive a THB 50,000 legal services credit.
What is Thailand Elite Visa (Thailand Privilege Card)
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 packages, each with its own set of VIP benefits. The program was rebranded as the Thailand Privilege Card in 2023.
The Thailand Elite Visa is structured for retirees, private investors, executives operating remotely, and families seeking long-term residence in Thailand without the administrative obligations associated with conventional visa categories. There are no income thresholds for most tiers, no annual renewals, and no requirement to leave the country for visa purposes. Approval delivers a multiple-entry visa valid for the full term of membership, which may extend up to twenty years.
Eligibility extends to most nationalities. The appropriate Thailand Elite Visa tier depends on intended length of stay and privileges. Applicants may choose from one of several Thailand Elite Visa memberships here.
Privileges of Thailand Elite Visa Membership
A Thailand Elite Visa membership extends well beyond the visa itself. Members are assigned a comprehensive concierge framework designed to remove the administrative friction commonly associated with foreign residency.
Standard member privileges include:
- Multiple-entry Thailand Elite Visa valid for 5 to 20 years, depending on tier
- Access to private departure and arrival lounges at major Thai international airports
- Dedicated immigration channels for expedited processing
- VIP reception and private chauffeured transfer between airport and accommodation
- Government documentation support, including 90-day reporting and address registration
- Assistance with the establishment of a Thai bank account in local currency
- Personal Liaison Officers available for reservations, scheduling, and member enquiries
- Preferred-rate arrangements with partner establishments
- Curated access to spa, golf, and fine dining benefits
- Annual health examination
Prospective members are encouraged to arrange a consultation with our legal team prior to application. The consultation establishes eligibility, identifies the appropriate Thailand Elite Visa tier, and addresses any matters specific to the applicant’s nationality, family situation, or commercial interests. There is no obligation associated with the consultation.
Members work with a legal team responsible throughout the visa term. Most applicants qualify; any concerns are assessed prior to submission.

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!
Clocktower Hill
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.
Andre Glover
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.
