In July 2025, Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. (TPC) announced a series of limited-time adjustments to the Thailand Privilege program. These updates introduced more cost-effective options for families and existing members, along with an official confirmation that the Thailand Privilege Bronze membership will be discontinued by December 2025.

These adjustments form part of Thailand’s ongoing strategy to appeal to long-term residents, digital nomads, and expatriates with families seeking streamlined immigration options paired with high-quality lifestyle benefits.

Thailand Privilege Bronze Membership Deadline Extended

The Thailand Privilege Bronze membership was launched to meet the demand for a more affordable membership option under the Thailand Privilege program. It was developed based on the feedback received by the TPC, which showed that a considerable number of prospective members primarily sought long-term residency in Thailand and immigration benefits without the added cost associated with lifestyle privileges. 

These benefits included a 5-year multiple-entry Thailand Elite Visa, fast-track immigration processing at international airports in Thailand, assistance with 90-day reporting, and access to the exclusive monthly rewards and promotions offered by the TPC. Although the Thailand Privilege Bronze membership was initially set to end in June, the TPC has extended the deadline to December 31, 2025, in response to the large amount of interest it has received, granting more time for prospective members to apply.

Thailand Privilege Bronze Upgrade for Elite Family Excursion Members

Holders of the Elite Family Excursion (EFE) and Elite Family Alternative (EFA) packages with visas expiring by September 2026 may upgrade to the 5-year Thailand Privilege Bronze membership for 450,000 THB per person.

The Thailand Privilege Bronze membership will be added to the remaining validity of their existing EFE package, allowing members to upgrade in advance without forfeiting any remaining time. This limited offer is available until the end of May 2026 and provides qualifying members with access to the new Thailand Privilege memberships without the need to submit a new application.

Family Add-On Discount Until September 30

Platinum, Diamond, and Reserve members have the opportunity to add immediate family members to their membership for 500,000 THB per person until September 30, 2025. This temporary promotion represents a considerable saving when compared to the standard fees of 1 to 2 million THB.

It also reflects the growing interest in the Thailand Privilege Card among families and provides a more accessible opportunity for households to reside in Thailand. It is available to both new and existing members, making it an attractive option for families wishing to join the Thailand Privilege Program.

Once prepared, you can submit them to the relevant government agency to begin the application process for your chosen Thailand Privilege membership tier.
