Japan Road Show 2026
Osaka — Thailand Long-Stay Seminar

Speakers and organizers of the Japan Road Show 2026 Osaka — Thailand long-stay seminar at Imperial Hotel Osaka on 27 May 2026

On Wednesday, 27 May 2026, Daimaru Trading hosted the Osaka session of the Japan Road Show 2026 — a Thailand long-stay seminar organized by Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. and operated by Daimaru Trading, with the support of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The event was held in the Tsuru no Ma hall on the third floor of Imperial Hotel Osaka, and opened with an address from the President of Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. before five subject-matter sessions across tourism, immigration, the Thailand Privilege program, healthcare, and overseas taxation.

Opening Address

The afternoon opened with welcome remarks from the President of Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd., who travelled from Bangkok to meet the Japanese audience in person. The opening framed the day's program: why Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. — a state enterprise under the Tourism Authority of Thailand — has invested in a multi-city Japan Road Show every year since 2022, and what kind of long-stay member Thailand is welcoming in 2026.
