Thailand Privilege Bronze Deadline Extended: The Cheapest Elite Visa is Still Available!

Thailand Privilege Bronze Deadline Extended

The Thailand Privilege Program has just extended the deadline for its most affordable membership option to secure the Thailand Elite Visa. If you’re looking to stay in Thailand long-term in the most convenient and rewarding way possible, this option will enable you to do so at the lowest possible price.

Initially set to end in June, the Thailand Privilege Bronze membership will now remain open for applications until December 31, 2025.

What is the Thailand Privilege Bronze Membership?

The Thailand Privilege Bronze membership was launched to meet the growing demand for a more accessible membership option under the Thailand Privilege Program, which is managed by Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. (TPC). It was introduced after feedback from both clients and General Sales and Services Agents (GSSAs) revealed that a considerable number of prospective members were primarily seeking long-term residency in Thailand and immigration benefits, without the added cost of bonus lifestyle privileges.

Priced at a one-time fee of 650,000 THB, the Thailand Privilege Bronze membership has temporarily replaced the 900,000 THB Gold membership tier as the most affordable option. The reduced price is due to the lack of Privilege Points, which members use to redeem luxury perks and services. Even so, the Bronze membership offers several perks that make living and traveling in Thailand more convenient:

  • 5-Year Multiple-Entry Visa: Receive a long-term multiple-entry visa that allows you to enter and stay in Thailand for up to 5 years without needing frequent renewals.
  • Expedited Immigration Processing: Access to fast-track immigration lanes at major international airports in Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi), Chiang Mai, and Phuket for quicker arrivals and departures.
  • Member Contact Center (MCC): Access to the 24/7 Thailand Privilege Member Contact Center (MCC) for assistance with membership-related inquiries.
  • Elite Personal Assistant (EPA) Service: Unlimited access to dedicated airport assistance during arrivals and departures for a smooth travel experience.
  • Elite Personal Liaison Service (EPL): One-time access to assistance with administrative tasks throughout the duration of the Thailand Privilege Bronze membership.
  • Chaeng Watthana Lounge Access: Access to the exclusive lounge at the Chaeng Watthana Immigration Office, where you can take care of visa-related tasks in a relaxed and comfortable setting.
  • 90-Day Report Services: Access to multiple solutions for completing the Thai 90-day report, including home delivery and drop-off services.
  • Monthly Rewards and Exclusive Offers: Access to special deals and discounts from leading shopping centers, restaurants, airlines, hospitals, leisure venues, and more. Recent promotions have featured special deals on the world-class Siam Niramit Show Phuket and discounts on dermatology treatments at select clinics.

Why Thailand Privilege Extended the Deadline for Bronze Membership

As mentioned earlier, the Thailand Privilege Bronze membership was initially available for a limited time, with the deadline set for June 30, 2025.

However, due to the large amount of interest the membership had received, the TPC has extended the application period until December 31, 2025. 

This extension followed a formal request from GSSAs for time to accommodate the growing demand and keep the Thailand Privilege Program accessible to a broader range of clients who may not be able to afford or wish to commit to the higher-tier memberships within the original timeframe.

How to Apply for Thailand Privilege Bronze

The application process for the Thailand Privilege Bronze membership is nearly identical to that of the other membership tiers, with the only difference being the application form that must be completed. When applying, it is recommended to consult with a GSSA for professional assistance with your Thailand Elite Visa application, as they will maximize your chances of approval and streamline the entire application process.

For context, a GSSA is an organization that has partnered with the Thai government and TPC to provide free assistance with all aspects of the Thailand Elite Visa application process. Their services include collecting the necessary documents for your Thailand Elite Visa application, reviewing them for accuracy, and submitting them to the appropriate government agencies on your behalf.

Here are the steps to apply for the Thailand Elite Visa under the Bronze membership:

  • Application Preparation and Submission: Gather all the documents required for the Thailand Privilege Bronze membership application and forward them to a GSSA. They will thoroughly review the application for accuracy to minimize the risk of delays or rejection before submitting it on your behalf.
  • Background Check and Approval: Once your application is submitted, Thai immigration authorities will conduct a background check, which typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Payment and Membership Activation: After a successful background check, you’ll receive a letter of approval and payment instructions for the Thailand Elite Visa. Once the membership fee is paid, you’ll receive a welcome letter and Membership ID, which will be used to affix the Thailand Elite Visa to your passport.

What to Do If You’ve Applied but Want to Switch Your Membership Tier to Bronze

If you are in the process of applying for another Thailand Privilege membership but want to switch to the Bronze membership, you can do so as long as the membership fee has not yet been paid. 

All you have to do is inform your GSSA that you’d like to cancel your current application, then fill out and submit the Bronze membership form to your GSSA, who will take care of the rest from there. However, if you’ve already paid the membership fee, switching to the Bronze tier is no longer an option.

Alternatively, if you sign up for Bronze membership and want even more of what Thailand Privilege has to offer, you can upgrade to a higher tier for more rewards and a longer visa duration.
