The first membership type is the "Gold Privilege Card," designed specifically for newcomers, digital nomads, tourists, and expatriates. This membership type has an application fee of 900,000 baht and provides members with a 5-year visa, making it ideal for those who want to experience life in Thailand without making a long-term commitment.

Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. (TPC) has simplified its membership types, eliminating eight elite visas and offering four new "Thailand Privilege Card" packages, including a Gold Privilege Card. These packages focus on providing more choices and customized privileges for different lifestyles.

Gold Membership Overview

Validity: 5 years Price: 900,000 Thai Baht (approximately 180,000 RMB) Note: Please check the latest exchange rate for the most up-to-date RMB price. Privilege Points: 20

Thailand Privilege members are not required to leave the country or renew their visas every 90 days. This does not apply if using a short-stay visa or other visa category. Thailand Privilege staff will assist members with the 90-day reporting process. Another benefit is that frequent travelers can enjoy multiple entries during their membership period.

Gold membership is designed for personal use only and does not offer family add-ons or family plans as part of the base membership.

TPC has decided to adopt a points system instead of providing fixed benefits to different members. These points must be used within one year and cannot be carried over to the following year.

    Thailand's privileged visas, including the Golden Visa, are tourist visas. You will not be allowed to work in Thailand, but digital nomads or those working for overseas companies are permitted.
