Who is this Membership Tier Ideal for?

While everyone regardless of background is welcome to apply for the Platinum membership, this package may be best suited for you if you want the most affordable option available that lets you add your family as Thailand Privilege members. They can be added at a lower price of 1 million baht each, which is only 100,000 baht more expensive compared to the Gold membership, but provides better benefits for families.

Additionally, this can be a good choice if you want to spend a lot of time in Thailand but aren’t ready to commit to the more expensive Diamond membership. If you decide you want to stay longer, you also have the option to upgrade to either the Diamond or the Reserve membership (if you receive the appropriate invitation from TPC).

Benefits of the Thailand Privilege Platinum Membership

With various new benefits added to the mix, the Thailand Privilege Platinum Membership is an upgrade over not only the Thailand Privilege Gold Membership but even the previous 10-year Thai Elite Visa packages such as Elite Privilege Access and Elite Family Alternative. By securing a 10-year Thai Privilege Visa, you are entitled to these extra benefits:

Privilege Points System

This is a new system in place not present with the old elite visa packages. You have the right to choose any of the available privileges by redeeming points, giving you more flexibility over how you want to spend your time in Thailand.

  • As a Platinum member, you are entitled to 35 points per year, all of which can be spent on any of the privileges on offer.
  • Your privilege points reset to the default amount each membership year. For instance, if you spend 15 points in one year, it will still default to 35 the following year.
  • It is advisable to use up all your points in a single year, as any points you have will not carry over to the subsequent year.

What perks can be redeemed using the Thailand Privilege Points?

The 10-year Thai Privilege Visa includes more than just the complimentary perks in your membership package. You can use the points redemption system to unlock additional benefits by spending points. These perks are organized into five categories.

There are far too many available rewards to list here in their entirety. Some examples from each perk category include:

  • Stay: Free hotel nights, discounts on hotel dining, and real estate partner perks.
  • Travel: VIP greetings, airport transfer, airport lounge access, car rentals, and special deals.
  • Leisure: Shopping center personal assistants, special offers and discounts at leading restaurant chains, special deals at sporting events, and premium access to concerts.
  • Health & Wellbeing: Free rounds of golf, spa treatments, access to fitness centers, health and dental checkups, beauty and wellness treatments.
  • Wealth: Wealth advisory sessions, networking events, and legal consultations.

Easier application and immigration procedures

  • For ED Visa holders: If you have an Education (ED) Visa, you can now apply for a Thailand Privilege Visa, provided your education institution and visa are legitimate.
  • For Chinese nationals: As a Chinese applicant, you no longer have to be referred to Interpol and background checks will be more streamlined.
  • Simplified application: Applying for your membership is easier and more hassle-free, lacking any of the pitfalls common with other long-term visas.

Upgradable from the old Thai Elite Visa Packages

If you own any of these previous Thailand Elite membership packages, you can upgrade to a Platinum membership for a small fee:

  • Upgrade Fee: 100,000 Baht (approximately $2,760 USD)
  • Annual Fee: 75,000 Baht (approximately $2,070 USD
  • Validity: based on the remaining validity period of the old package.

How to apply for a Thailand Privilege Platinum Membership Package?

Before you jump into the application, it is highly recommended that you reach out to a government-partnered General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) for assistance in acquiring your visa. A GSSA is a professional agent authorized by TPC to work with you to complete your Thai Privilege Visa application seamlessly, providing services from reviewing your application carefully to even submitting your application on your behalf. Most importantly, all GSSA services are free of charge, made possible due to government subsidies.

7 primary steps to Thailand Privilege membership application process

  • Inform your GSSA of your interest in the 10-year Thai Privilege Visa. They will provide you with a checklist and the required forms to fill out.
  • Complete the application forms, collect all documentation, and pay the application fee. Provide all the required items to your GSSA for review.
  • Complete the background check assessed by the Thai Immigration authorities. To help you track your application status, your GSSA will provide you with login details to access the Thailand Privilege online application portal.
  • Await receipt of the approval letter and invoice after passing your background check. These will be issued to you via email.
  • Pay your membership fees to Thailand Privilege Card within 30 days of receiving the letter and invoice.
  • Await receipt of the welcome letter and membership ID from TPC. While optional, you can also request a physical membership card to be issued.
  • Book an appointment by calling the member contact center and get your Thai Privilege Visa affixed to your passport. You can get it affixed either at a Royal Thai Consulate or Embassy (if applying abroad), a Thai international airport (if flying into the country), or the Thai immigration office (if applying in Thailand).

Timeline and Duration

The amount of time it takes before you can receive a Thai Privilege Visa depends on various factors, ranging from nationality to any necessary amendments. To speed up the process, ensure you provide all the correct documentation and information to TPC. You can expect to receive the 10-year Thai Privilege Visa within 1 to 3 months.

  • Background checks: between 4 to 6 weeks
  • Payment Confirmation: between 1-2 weeks
  • Welcome kit (welcome letter and membership ID): 5 to 10 working days

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can a family member apply for this membership?
Yes, you can include family members in your application. As the primary applicant, you will pay the full membership while each family member added will only have to pay a discounted fee of 1 million baht. In addition, they will share the same allotment of privilege points that you, as the primary holder, receives.
  1. Can I receive any assistance with bank accounts, driver’s licenses, and 90-day reporting on the Platinum Membership?
Yes, you can seek out the services of an Elite Personal Liaison (EPL). However, this privilege is not baseline and you will need to redeem points to use these services. By spending 1 privilege point, you can appoint them to complete your 90-day reporting requirements on your behalf. By spending 2 points, an EPL can assist you in opening a Thai bank account or acquiring a Thai driver’s license.
  1. As a holder of the old Thai Elite Visa, can I upgrade to a Thailand Privilege Platinum Membership?
Yes, you can upgrade to the 10-year Thai Privilege Visa if you are currently holding an Elite Easy Access, Elite Family Alternative, Elite Privilege Access, or Elite Superiority Extension membership. To upgrade, you need to pay the standard upgrade fee of 100,000 baht as well as 75,000 baht per year for the primary card.
  1. Is the PLATINUM Membership Card transferable?
No, you cannot transfer your 10-year membership to anyone.
