Thailand has hiked the cost of its VIP visas as the country pushes to attract more wealthy expats.

The Thailand Elite Visa has been replaced with the ‘Thailand Privilege Card', which offers a 20-year visa for five million baht (140,833 USD).

Officials said the new packages cater to the needs of different types of long-term residents in Thailand, including frequent and affluent visitors and investors, ‘workcation' travelers and digital nomads, expatriates in Thailand, and retirees.

The cheapest package costs 1,00,000 baht (28166 USD) and offers a 5-year visa.

Holders are also offered perks such as airport fast track buggies and free massages.

The scheme has been running for 20 years and accrued around 31,500 users.
