Updated 30 September 2026: Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. has extended the Bronze membership — the ฿650,000, five-year entry tier — until 31 December 2026. Bronze had been due to close to new applications on 30 September 2026. This article originally reported that closure; the official extension announcement supersedes it. The ฿750,000 Next Member family promotion has been extended to the same date.
Quick facts
- What: Bronze membership (฿650,000 · 5-year multi-entry visa · individual applicants).
- New deadline: 31 December 2026 (previously 30 September 2026).
- Announced: 30 September 2026 by Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. (ref. TPC: SD26/4288).

What has changed?
In its announcement of 30 September 2026, signed by President Mr. Manatase Annawat, Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. said it had surveyed its General Sales & Services Agents about continuing Bronze and received direct feedback showing continued interest from prospective members. In response, management extended Bronze availability to the end of 2026. The terms of the membership are unchanged: a five-year multi-entry visa with premium-lane immigration, an Elite Personal Assistant on arrival, 90-day reporting support, and bank-account facilitation.
Bronze has been extended several times since the late-2023 rebrand. TPC has not said what happens after 31 December 2026 — whether Bronze will be extended again or closed. The practical approach is to treat 31 December as the deadline.
Who does this affect?
Individual applicants who want the lowest entry price. Bronze remains the least expensive way into the Thailand Privilege Visa program, and there is now another three months to apply.
Families. Bronze is a single-member tier. Families adding a spouse, children, or parents should look at Platinum, Diamond, or Reserve, where the ฿750,000-per-family-member promotion also runs to 31 December 2026.
Existing Bronze members. No change.
Bronze or Gold?
| Bronze (until 31 Dec 2026) | Gold | |
|---|---|---|
| Membership fee | ฿650,000 one-time | ฿900,000 one-time |
| Visa | 5-year multi-entry | 5-year multi-entry |
| Privilege Points | None | 20 per year |
| Airport & immigration | Premium lane, Elite Personal Assistant | Premium lane, Elite Personal Assistant, airport transfers via points |
| Lifestyle benefits | Not included | Spa, wellness, and golf privileges |
| Who it suits | Individuals who want the visa and airport service only | Individuals who will use the lifestyle benefits |
The ฿250,000 difference pays for Gold's points and lifestyle benefits. If you would use them, Gold may be the better fit regardless of the deadline. If you would not, Bronze before 31 December is the lower-cost option. Details: Bronze and Gold.
What does the deadline require?
The deadline applies to submitting a complete application. Approval by Thai authorities typically takes 30 to 45 days from submission of complete documents, and the membership fee is collected only after approval. Late-December submissions fall over the holiday period, when document corrections can take longer, so applying earlier leaves more margin. The required documents checklist covers what a complete application needs: passport copy, photo, and the application form. No proof of income or bank balance is needed at the application stage.
