Why the Thailand Privilege Card?

The Thailand Privilege Card (formerly Elite Visa) is one of the most popular long-term residence programs in Southeast Asia. It offers 5 to 20 years of residence without a work permit — ideal for retirees, digital nomads, and high-net-worth individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Thailand Privilege Card and who is it for?
The Thailand Privilege Card is a long-stay residence programme for foreigners who want to live in Thailand for 5 to 20 years — without a work permit. It targets retirees, investors, digital nomads, and those with passive income who value flexibility and VIP services.
Which package is right?
That depends on your planned stay duration and budget. The Bronze package (5 years) from THB 650,000 is the most affordable entry point.
Can I renew the Privilege Card?
Yes, all packages are renewable. You can also upgrade to a higher-tier package.
What is life like in Thailand as an Elite Visa holder?
The Thailand Elite Visa gives you maximum flexibility: you can live in Thailand for up to 20 years without needing a work visa. Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket are popular residences.
What taxes will I pay in Thailand?
Thailand levies income tax on income earned in Thailand or remitted from abroad. The rate is progressive at 0–35%. Since 2024: foreign income remitted to Thailand is taxable regardless of the year it was earned.
Can I work in Thailand with the Thailand Privilege Card?
No. The Thailand Privilege Card is primarily a long-stay / lifestyle residence product and does not itself authorize employment in Thailand. If you want to work or run a business locally, a separate work-authorized route may be required.
Can my family come along?
Yes, family members can purchase separate Elite Visa packages. Family packages are also available. Alternatively, spouses and children can obtain a Non-Immigrant Visa.
