The Official Thailand Privilege Website
Thailand Elite Visas are available by joining Thailand Privilege’s Membership program. The official website of Thailand Elite can be found at thailandprivilege.co.th. There, you can find information about visa offerings, various membership packages, and included perks and benefits. After applying for the Elite Visa, you can also track your application progress via a portal on this site.
How to Apply for the Thailand Elite Visa
To apply for the Thailand Elite Visa, you must provide the following:
- A scanned color copy of your passport photo and signature pages with at least three blank pages and 365 days validity remaining on the date of application
- A high-resolution passport-sized photo of yourself taken within the last 6 months on a white background
- A signed and completed Thailand Privilege Membership Application form
- Proof of relationship for family members and all applicants 19 years of age and younger (if applicable)
- An application fee of 50,000 THB – this fee is deducted from the cost of the membership and acts as a deposit.
After your application is submitted, Thailand Privilege, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Immigration Bureau will perform immigration and criminal background checks. Upon satisfactory completion, Thailand Privilege will request payment and approve your visa. This process typically takes around one month but can take up to three months for certain nationalities.
What is a GSSA?
General Sales and Services Agents (GSSA) are Thai visa consultants and law firms authorized to provide free professional support throughout the Thailand Elite Visa application process. You can apply for the Elite Visa directly through the website, but it is recommended that all prospective members apply with the assistance of a GSSA. GSSAs are fully subsidized by the government so you can receive personalized support to ensure your application is completed quickly and successfully without any additional charges.
