The Thailand Privilege Platinum membership is above the Gold membership and is the most affordable membership tier. It also allows members to add family members to the program at a reduced rate. It's an excellent option for digital nomads, frequent travelers to Thailand, long-term expats, and retirees, especially those with dependents.

As with the now-discontinued Thailand Elite Visa Program, which was replaced by the Thailand Privilege Program, the Platinum membership offers a convenient multiple-entry visa with significantly fewer requirements than other long-term visas for Thailand. To make your stay in the country even more enjoyable, all Thailand Privilege memberships also include a wide range of benefits and perks that the previous Thailand Elite Visa Program simply couldn't offer.

Platinum membership differs from other membership levels in several key ways. Compared to Gold membership, it offers double the visa validity period at less than half the price. Furthermore, Platinum membership—like Diamond and Reserve memberships—allows you to add additional members through the same application. Bronze and Gold memberships do not offer this feature.

Overview of the Thailand Privilege Platinum membership

Here are the most important details about Platinum membership:

  • Membership validity: 10 years
  • Membership fee (main applicant): 1,500,000 THB
  • Membership fee (additional members): 1,000,000 THB
  • Annual bonus points: 35

    • Please note that additional family members do not receive their own points allowance under the bonus point system. All other members must share the 35 points allocated to the primary member.

    Platinum membership includes a Thailand Elite Visa valid for 5 years, which can be extended once for a maximum validity period of 10 years. This visa allows multiple entries, permitting holders to leave and re-enter Thailand as often as they like without needing a new entry permit. Members also benefit from expedited processing at airport immigration.

    What are the benefits of Thailand Privilege Platinum membership?

    The benefits of a Thailand Privilege Platinum membership are largely the same as those of a Gold or Diamond membership. The difference lies in the number of Privilege Points awarded annually. Although the available benefits are identical, Platinum members enjoy more than Gold members. The Reserve tier, accessible by invitation only, offers additional benefits.

    The complete list of benefits, discounts, and free services offered by the Thailand Privilege program is too long to include here. Therefore, we have compiled a brief overview of what you can expect after registering for the program:

  • Premium lane for expedited entry processing at border crossings
  • Elite Personal Assistant (EPA) service upon arrival at the airport
  • Concierge service to assist with various administrative tasks, including immigration procedures (90-day reporting, etc.), driver's license applications, and opening a Thai bank account.
  • Health checks, wellness packages and other medical treatments in Thailand's leading hospitals.
  • Wealth management and investment advisory services
  • Special offers and discounts at leading restaurants, shopping centers, hospitals, spas, airlines, leisure providers, car rental companies and much more.
  • Free cinema tickets, rounds of golf, spa treatments, hotel stays, airport transfers and much more
  • Unlimited use of the Member Contact Center (MCC), an exclusive 24/7 hotline for all questions concerning Thailand Privilege.

    • Requirements for Thailand Privilege Platinum membership

    Applying for Thailand Privilege membership is easier than any other long-term visa option for Thailand. There are no specific requirements regarding age, education, income, employment, marital status, or investments. The only requirement is passing a background check conducted by the Thai government.

    However, to be eligible for the Thailand Elite Visa, you must meet the following criteria:

  • You must possess a foreign passport; all nationalities are eligible to participate, except for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea).
  • The passport must be valid for at least one year at the time of application.
  • There must be no record of serious visa violations in Thailand.
  • Must not have any criminal record, bankruptcy, or a declaration of mental incapacity.
  • Must never have held a Thai volunteer visa.

    • How to apply for a Thailand Privilege Platinum membership

    Your first step in applying for Thailand Privilege membership and the associated Thailand Elite Visa should be to use the services of a General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA).

    These are private organizations certified by the Thai government to assist all applicants for the Thailand Privilege Program. They possess comprehensive knowledge of the program and its procedures and can therefore offer both advice and support with the application process.

    Applying through a GSSA speeds up and simplifies the entire process and minimizes the risk of rejection. Best of all, these services are completely free for applicants, as the costs are included in your membership fee. Do not apply for your visa through unauthorized visa agencies, as there is always a risk of fraud. When choosing a Thailand Elite Visa Agency, look for the official GSSA seal.
