The Thailand Privilege Card is priced as a one time membership fee by tier, while the Long Term Resident visa is built around qualifying assets and a government visa fee. This page outlines the cost picture and points you to the official sources.

The Privilege Card cost is a one time membership fee that varies by tier. Reported tiers run from a lower cost promotional option, through mid range tiers, up to a long validity invitation tier. The fee buys a fixed term of long stay privileges rather than an asset you keep, so it is a cost rather than a held investment.
The Long Term Resident visa works differently. There is no membership fee, but some categories require qualifying assets. The Wealthy Global Citizens category is reported to require total net assets of at least USD 1,000,000 with at least USD 500,000 invested in Thailand. These amounts are held by you, not paid to the government. Confirm the current tiers, fees and asset levels with the official authority.
For the Privilege Card, the membership fee is the main charge, and any applicable tax should be confirmed with the operator before paying. For the Long Term Resident visa, the Board of Investment sets a government visa fee and there are standard immigration and permit charges.
These government amounts are set by the authorities and change periodically, so confirm the current figures with the official authority before budgeting.
Many applicants use independent professional help for document preparation, asset verification and category selection. These fees vary with the complexity of the case and are separate from the membership fee, the qualifying assets and any government charges.

For the Privilege Card, a realistic budget is the chosen tier fee plus any tax and professional help. For the Long Term Resident visa, the budget is shaped by the qualifying assets you already hold, the government visa fee and professional support, not by a membership purchase.
