What is Thai Privilege Visa?

A 5-20 year membership visa operated by Thailand Privilege Card Co. (TPC), a state enterprise under the Tourism Authority of Thailand. One-time membership fee grants a Privilege Entry Visa + concierge privileges.

GOLD THB 900K for 5 years · PLATINUM 1.5M for 10 years + airport limousine · DIAMOND 2.5M for 15 years with unlimited limo · RESERVE invitation only.

Can I work in Thailand on Thai Privilege?

No — Thailand Privilege (formerly Elite) is a Privilege Entry Visa issued under Cabinet Resolution 2003, not a work visa. Employment for a Thai entity requires a separate Work Permit from the Ministry of Labour or conversion to a Non-B; remote work for an overseas employer is allowed. NYC arranges both pathways with a single Case Manager.

Are there tax benefits?

No special tax exemptions. Spending ≥180 days per calendar year in Thailand makes you a Thai tax resident under Revenue Code Section 41, taxed on worldwide income remitted to Thailand (effective from tax year 2024). Royal Decree No.743 (B.E.2565) flat 17% tax applies only to LTR Wealthy Pensioner / Work-from-Thailand holders, not Privilege.

How long does processing take?

Standard processing: 30–60 Thai business days for GOLD, PLATINUM and DIAMOND tiers, 60–90 days for the RESERVE tier — includes Thailand Privilege Card Co. background screening, Immigration Bureau clearance, and police-record check via Interpol.
