Prices as published for 2026. Some sources say the Bronze tier ended on 30 September 2026, and one seller site says it was extended to 31 December 2026. Neither is confirmed on the official page. It is now after 30 September, so confirm before you rely on it.

The scope

What we help with

From tier choice to approval, including the family question.

  • Honest tier comparison: which membership length actually fits your plans
  • Cost comparison against the DTV, retirement and LTR routes
  • Application preparation and background-check guidance
  • Family and dependent memberships structured correctly
  • Arrival setup: fast-track, bank account and 90-day reporting
  • Membership benefits actually used, not forgotten
Honest advice. Privilege is the convenience route: approval rests on a clean background check rather than income or deposits, and tiers run from five to twenty years. It does not grant the right to work in Thailand. If a cheaper visa fits your situation, we will tell you before you spend membership money.
The process

How it works

01

Compare the routes

We check whether Privilege genuinely beats the DTV, retirement or LTR route for your situation and budget, and which tier makes sense.

02

Apply and clear

We prepare the membership application and guide you through the background-check stage to approval.

03

Land like a member

Visa affixed, fast-track arranged, bank account and 90-day reporting set up so the membership works from day one.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is the Thailand Privilege visa?

A paid long-stay membership programme, formerly called Thailand Elite, granting five to twenty years of residence depending on tier, with airport and concierge benefits.

How much does Thailand Privilege cost?

Tiers start in the hundreds of thousands of baht and rise with membership length and benefits. Fees change with programme promotions, so we confirm current pricing before you decide.

Can I work on a Privilege visa?

No. The membership does not grant the right to work in Thailand. If you need work rights, we look at the LTR or a work permit route instead.

Who is Privilege actually right for?

People who value convenience and long certainty over cost: frequent travellers, families who want one clean status, and anyone who does not want to manage financial evidence every year.

Does Privilege require 90-day reports?

Yes, the 90-day report still applies, but member services assist with it, and we can run it for you under our compliance plan.

Privilege, or a smarter route?

Tell us your plans and budget and we will give you an honest comparison before you commit to a membership.
