How much is the 5-Year Elite Visa in Thailand?

The Thailand Elite Visa by Siam Legal is a long-term, multiple-entry tourist visa available through the Thailand Privilege Program. The program now features five exclusive membership packages — Bronze, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Reserve, each offering visa validity ranging from five to twenty years. Members enjoy a wide range of privileges, including priority immigration services, airport assistance, government concierge support, and access to luxury experiences throughout Thailand. Both the Thailand Privilege Bronze Membership and the Privilege Gold Membership provide a 5-Year Elite Visa, with the Bronze tier serving as the program’s new entry-level option and the Gold tier offering enhanced benefits for members seeking greater privileges and convenience.

Thailand Privilege Bronze Membership Costs

The Bronze Membership offers a 5-year multiple-entry Thailand Privilege Visa at a one-time fee of 650,000 THB (approximately $18,000 USD / £14,000 GBP / $27,000 AUD). Unlike other tiers, the Bronze Membership does not include any annual Thailand Privilege Points but still provides members with the convenience of long-term stay privileges and exclusive airport services. This equates to an average of 130,000 THB per year for visa and membership benefits. There are no annual fees, age limits, income, or asset requirements, making it an accessible entry-level option for those seeking a simplified and cost-effective way to enjoy extended stays in Thailand.

Thai Elite Gold Membership Costs

The Gold membership provides a 5-year, multiple-entry tourist visa with 20 Thailand Privilege Points allocated annually, and costs a one-time fee of 900,000 THB (approximately $25,000 USD / £20,000 GBP / $38,000 AUD). This averages to 180,000 THB per year of visa and membership. There is no annual fee or age, income, or asset restrictions.

Family members who wish to join you must purchase a separate Gold membership, as there is no option to add family members at this level. To include extra family members, you’ll have to purchase a membership level above Gold.

Airport and Immigration Privileges

The 5-year Elite Visa allows effortless exit and re-entry into Thailand, eliminating the need for re-entry permits and lengthy immigration queues. Additionally, you’ll receive access to exclusive airport lounges, priority immigration lanes, and dedicated Elite Personal Assistants to help with transfers, luggage, and immigration procedures.

Residential Benefits

During your stay in Thailand, you are entitled to several residential privileges. You can open bank and credit card accounts, apply for a driver’s license, and enroll in health insurance. You can also choose to spend some of your Privilege Points on the assistance of an Elite Personal Liaison (EPL) who is experienced in accomplishing these tasks.

Lifestyle Benefits of Thai Elite Visa

During your first year as a Privilege Gold member, you receive a complimentary one-night stay with Anantara Vacation Club, 180 days of personal accident insurance, and an annual health check (once per member term). You can also enjoy complimentary access to personal shopping assistants, parking privileges, buy-one-get-one-free cinema tickets, and discounts at select shops and restaurants. To top it off, you receive 20 Thailand Privilege Points per year to redeem for luxurious services and experiences like spa treatments, golf club passes, hotel stays, and other VIP perks.

How to apply for a Thai Elite Visa?

Applications for the Gold Privilege Visa are accepted from both within and outside Thailand. You will need a valid passport, a recent passport photo, a completed Thailand Privilege Gold Membership form, and a 50,000 THB application fee (deducted from the membership cost).

Why choose the Thailand Elite Visa Gold Membership?

The Thailand Privilege Gold Membership by Siam Legal provides a 5-year Elite Visa designed for those who want a more comfortable and convenient lifestyle in Thailand.
