Thailand.

Ten-year renewable visa run by the Board of Investment, open since 1 September 2022, in four categories; only 'Wealthy Global Citizens' requires an investment: US$500,000 in Thai government bonds, Thai companies or Thai property, plus US$1m in assets and health insurance. Visa fee 50,000 baht per person. No route to permanent residence or citizenship is part of the scheme. The text creating the visa (Cabinet resolution and implementing announcements) is not stored: 'launched' is the day applications opened, as stated by the Board of Investment, not the founding text's in-force date.

Paid membership sold by Thailand Privilege Card Co. (formerly Thailand Elite Card Co.), a state enterprise owned by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, that comes with a long-stay 'privilege entry' visa for the membership period plus concierge services. It is a fee, not an investment that can be recovered. Packages before October 2023 (Thailand Elite) are discontinued; since then Gold (900,000 baht, 5 years), Platinum (1.5m, 10 years), Diamond (2.5m, 15 years), Reserve (5m, 20 years) and Bronze (650,000 baht, 5 years). No route to permanent residence or citizenship. 'launched' is the date of the Cabinet resolution (29 July 2003) that set up the company to run the membership card project, per the company's 2025 annual report; the resolution states no separate in-force date, and the date the first cards were sold is not in a stored document.
