Is THB 900,000 truly a one-time fee?

Yes — one payment covers all 5 years, no annual charge. Additional costs only for dependents (Family Excursion) or renewal after 5 years.

Can a 25-year-old apply for Gold and wait for retirement?

Yes — no upper age limit. Many use Gold as a bridge until age 50 to switch into LTR Pensioner.

Am I a tax resident if I stay 180+ days on Gold?

Yes — Elite grants no tax exemption. Gold members staying 180+ days become full Thai tax residents (PIT 5–35%). For 17% flat tax or remittance exemption, migrate to LTR.

How do I renew Gold after 5 years?

TPC offers renewal at the then-current Gold price (THB 900k as of 2026) with a fresh background check. Our renewal filing fee is THB 25,000.

§ ELITE vs LTR

LTR requires USD 80k income but grants Work Permit + 17% flat tax. Gold has no income test but no work rights or tax breaks. For non-working retirees, Gold is simpler.

Report passport change to TPC within 30 days or PE visa is void
Fast-track is member-only; dependents need Family Excursion add-on
