Experience Thailand in Style with the New Privilege Card Program
Thailand is unveiling an exclusive new membership program that offers unmatched luxury and privileges for those looking to experience the country in style.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Thailand Privilege Card and how it can enhance your time in the Land of Smiles.
The End of an Era for the Elite Visa
The popular Thailand Elite Visa program which has served expats and tourists for years is set to expire on September 15, 2023.
This prestigious visa provided many benefits but it’s now being replaced by something even more exclusive.
Introducing the Thailand Privilege Card
Launching on October 1, 2023, the new Thailand Privilege Card program aims to redefine luxury travel and living in Thailand.
Created by the Thailand Privilege Card Company, the same organization behind the Elite Visa, this invitation-only program provides access to over 300 partners offering exclusive privileges across travel, dining, leisure, health, and more.
Privileges Tailored to Your Lifestyle
The Privilege Card revolves around a new points system that lets you customize your benefits based on your preferences.
Simply redeem points for everything from hotel stays and supercar rentals to concert tickets, airport lounge access, and health checkups.
The more points your card carries, the more extravagant the rewards.
4 Elite Tiers of Membership
There are four privilege card tiers – Reserve, Diamond, Platinum, and Gold – each with increasing membership fees, validity periods, and luxury benefits.
The Reserve Card sits at the pinnacle with 20+ years of access, 120 annual points, networking in an exclusive club, and lavish complimentary offerings like domestic flights, airport limos, and supercar rentals.
Who’s It For?
Ideal candidates for the Privilege Card include:
- Investors seeking an unparalleled luxury lifestyle
- Digital nomads wanting extensive travel perks
- Expats looking to make Thailand their long-term home
- Retirees wanting to enjoy endless privileges
The card can facilitate stays for business or pleasure. However, Privilege Card members still need to adhere to standard Thai work permit and reporting regulations.
When Can You Apply?
Applications open on October 1, 2023 but it’s recommended to secure the Elite Visa by September 15 to lock in lower legacy pricing before the program ends.
