In a significant move to attract more applicants, the Thailand Privilege Card program has announced the temporary suspension of the THB 50,000 Membership Application Fee for all applications submitted between September 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024. This decision aims to encourage new applicants in light of current economic conditions and recent changes to visa policies. Potential members who apply during this period will benefit from this waiver, though those who submitted applications earlier will still follow the standard fee structure.
Additionally, the Thailand Privilege Card has introduced an enhanced background check process for membership applications. The background screening now involves four key organizations, including the Immigration Office, Department of Consular Affairs, Foreign Affairs Division of the Royal Thai Police, and the Central Investigation Bureau. Despite the increased scrutiny, the review process remains efficient, with approvals generally completed within one month. Only applicants who receive clearance from all four bodies will proceed to the payment stage, ensuring a secure and transparent selection process for new members.
