                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                                 _______________

                         ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

                                  JUNE 27, 2005

                                     GENERAL

         This Proxy Statement is furnished to holders of common stock, par value
$.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of Trans World Corporation, a Nevada
corporation ("TWC" or the "Company"). Proxies are being solicited on behalf of
the Board of Directors of the Company to be used at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders ("Annual Meeting") to be held at the Hotel Schloss Durnstein,
Durnstein 2, Durnstein, Austria A3601 on Monday, June 27, 2005 at 10:00 a.m.,
Austrian Time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes
set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This Proxy Statement
is first being mailed to stockholders on or about June 6, 2005.

         The proxy solicited hereby, if properly signed and returned to the
Company and not revoked prior to its use, will be voted in accordance with the
instructions contained therein. If no contrary instructions are given, each
proxy received will be voted (i) FOR the nominees for director described herein;
(ii) FOR the amendments to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2004 Equity
Plan"); (iii) FOR ratification of the appointment of Rothstein, Kass & Company,
P.C., as the Company's independent accountants for fiscal 2005; and (iv) upon
the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting,
in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy holder. Any holder of shares
of the Company's Common Stock who returns a signed proxy but fails to provide
instructions as to the manner in which such shares are to be voted will be
deemed to have voted in favor of the matters set forth in the preceding
sentence. ANY STOCKHOLDER GIVING A PROXY HAS THE POWER TO REVOKE IT AT ANY TIME
BEFORE IT IS EXERCISED BY (I) FILING WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WRITTEN
NOTICE THEREOF (SECRETARY, TRANS WORLD CORPORATION, 545 FIFTH AVENUE, SUITE 940,
NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10017); (II) SUBMITTING A DULY-EXECUTED PROXY BEARING A LATER
DATE; OR (III) APPEARING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND GIVING THE SECRETARY NOTICE
OF HIS OR HER INTENTION TO VOTE IN PERSON. Proxies solicited hereby may be
exercised only at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof
and will not be used for any other meeting.

                                     VOTING

         Only holders of record of the Common Stock at the close of business on
May 11, 2005 ("Voting Record Date") will be entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting. On the Voting Record Date, there were 5,031,681 shares of Common Stock
outstanding and the Company had no other class of equity securities outstanding.
The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a
majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company entitled to
vote on the matters presented will constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business at the Annual Meeting. Thus, the presence of the holders of Common
Stock representing at least 2,515,841 votes will be required to establish a
quorum. The withdrawal of any stockholder after the Annual Meeting has commenced
shall have no effect on the existence of a quorum. Each share of Common Stock is
entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting on all matters properly presented at
the meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast with a
quorum present. The five persons who receive the greatest number of votes of the
holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be
elected directors of the Company. Abstentions are considered in determining the
presence of a quorum but will not affect the vote required for the election of
directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of majority of all of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting is required for the proposal to approve the amendments to the 2004
Equity Plan and the proposal to ratify the appointment of the independent
accountants. Because of the votes required, abstentions will have the same
effect as a vote against these proposals. Under rules applicable to broker
dealers, all of the proposals for consideration at the Annual Meeting are
considered "discretionary" items upon which brokerage firms may vote in their
discretion on behalf of their clients if such clients have not furnished voting
instructions and for which there will not be "broker non-votes."


                                       1


         At May 11, 2005, directors and executive officers beneficially owned
3,666,361 shares of Common Stock or 72.4% of the total shares of Common Stock
outstanding at such date. It is anticipated that all of such shares will be
voted for the election of the nominees of the Company's Board of Directors, for
the amendments to the 2004 Equity Plan and for the ratification of the selection
of Rothstein, Kass & Co., P.C. as the Company's independent public accountants.

                         CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES

         Recently the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Nasdaq
promulgated rules to address certain requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 dealing with corporate governance. In accordance with those rules, the
Company's Board of Directors and its Audit, Compensation and Nominating
Committees adopted in the first quarter of 2004 governance principles to provide
guidance for the Board and those committees to ensure effective corporate
governance. These governance principles are summarized below. The committee
charters are described in the sections of this proxy statement that discuss the
duties and responsibilities of those committees.

BOARD PURPOSE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

         The business of TWC is managed under the direction of its Board of
Directors. The Board represents and acts on behalf of all stockholders and the
Company and is responsible for establishing and helping the Company achieve its
business objectives through oversight, review and counsel. The Board's
responsibilities include, among other things:

         o approving and monitoring critical business and financial strategies;

         o assessing major risks facing the Company, and options for their
           mitigation;

         o approving and monitoring major corporate actions;

         o overseeing processes designed to ensure TWC and TWC's employees
           compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the Company's
           Code of Ethics for Executive Officers;

         o overseeing processes designed to ensure the accuracy and completeness
           of the Company's financial statements;

         o monitoring the effectiveness of TWC's internal controls;

         o selecting, evaluating, and setting appropriate compensation for our
           chief executive officer upon the recommendation of the Compensation
           Committee of the Board;

         o reviewing the recommendations of management for, and electing, the
           Company's executive officers; and

         o overseeing the compensation of the Company's executive officers
           elected by the Board.

                                       2



GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES.

         Except for Mr. Ramadan, the Company's president, chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, the members of the Company's Board of
Directors consist of independent directors who meet the requirements of recent
rules promulgated by the SEC and by the Nasdaq.

         The Board of Directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines that
set forth certain Board policies including:

         o qualifications for employee and non-employee Board members;

         o how often the Board will meet, provisions for special meetings and
           the expectation of director attendance;

         o when a Board member should not participate in Board discussions or
           vote on a Board matter;

         o restrictions on service on the Boards of other companies;

         o the purpose and responsibilities of the Board committees;

         o committee membership and leadership;

         o the Board's ability to meet with TWC employees without the presence
           of executive officers to obtain information;

         o the Board's ability to hire such independent advisers, including
           attorneys, accountants and other consultants, as it deems necessary
           or appropriate to carry out its duties; and

         o stockholder access to the Board.

ETHICAL STANDARDS.

         The Board of Directors also codified principles and guidelines for the
Company's executive officers. The Code of Ethics for Executive Officers,
requires that our executive officers affirmatively agree to:

         o engage in honest and ethical conduct;

         o avoid conflicts of interest;

         o take all reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of
           non-public information about TWC and its customers;

         o produce full, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in
           reports filed with the SEC;

         o comply with any applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
           and,

         o report any possible violation of the Code to TWC's chief financial
           officer.

         A copy of the Company's Code of Ethics will be furnished to any person
upon written request. Such requests should be sent to: Rami S. Ramadan,
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Trans World
Corporation, 545 Fifth Avenue, Suite 940, New York, New York 10017.

                                       3




COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has established a process for stockholders to communicate
with members of the Board. If you have any concern, question or complaint
regarding TWC or regarding its compliance with any policy or law, or would
otherwise like to contact the Board, you can reach the Company's Board of
Directors by addressing your correspondence to: Attention: Board of Directors,
Trans World Corporation, 545 Fifth Avenue, Suite 940, New York, New York 10017.
Inquiries can be submitted anonymously and confidentially (to the extent
permitted by law).

         All inquiries are received and reviewed by the Company's chief
financial officer, who must forward to the Board of Directors all items
received. If appropriate, the chief financial officer will also direct inquiries
most properly addressed by officers of the Company to ensure that the inquiries
are responded to in a timely manner. The Board of Directors, or, if appropriate,
a committee of the Board (such as the Audit Committee if the matter relates to
accounting, auditing or internal controls), will discuss these inquiries
internally and will direct any additional action it determines is necessary or
appropriate. The Board will resolve all Board-appropriate matters and will
direct management as to how and when to respond to the stockholders.

                INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Board shall consist of not
less than three nor more than nine members. Currently, the membership of the
Board is set at five and at present consists of five members. The Nominating
Committee of the Board has nominated the five individuals named below to serve
as directors of the Company until the next annual meeting of shareholders or
until their respective successors have been elected and qualified. All of the
nominees are members of the current Board. There are no arrangements or
understandings between the persons named as nominees for director at the Annual
Meeting and any other person pursuant to which such nominee was selected as a
nominee for election as a director at the Annual Meeting. No director or nominee
for director is related to any other director or executive officer of the
Company by blood, marriage or adoption.

         The election of each nominee requires the affirmative vote of a
plurality of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the
Annual Meeting. The Board recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the
nominees listed below. In the absence of other instructions, the proxies will be
voted FOR the election of the nominees named below. If, prior to the Annual
Meeting, the Board should learn that any nominee will be unable to serve by
reason of death, incapacity or other unexpected occurrence, the proxies that
otherwise would have been voted for such nominee will be voted for such
substitute nominee as selected by the Board. Alternatively, the proxies, at the
Board's discretion, may be voted for such fewer number of nominees as results
from such death, incapacity or other unexpected occurrence. The Board has no
reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve.

         Information concerning the principal position with the Company and
principal occupation of each nominee for director during the past five years is
set forth below:

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

         The Company's Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing
broad corporate policies and overall performance of TWC and is not involved in
the day-to-day operating details of the Company's business. Members of the Board
are kept informed of the Company's business through various documents and
reports provided by the President and other officers of the Company and by
participating in Board and Board committee meetings. Each director has access to
all books, records and reports of TWC, and members of management are available
at all times to answer any director's questions.

         Meetings of the Board are held quarterly and on an as-needed basis. The
Board held three meetings and acted by consent through weekly conference calls
conducted during the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. No director
of the Company attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the
Board or meetings of committees of the Board during the year ended December 31,
2004.

         The Board of Directors of TWC is authorized by its Bylaws to elect
members of its Board to committees of the Board which may be necessary or
appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Company. At December 31,
2004, TWC had the following three committees:

         AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Audit Committee reviews and approves internal
accounting controls, internal audit operations and activities, the Company's
annual report and audited financial statements, the selection of the Company's
independent auditors, the activities and recommendations of the Company's
independent auditors, material changes in the Company's accounting procedures,
the Company's policies regarding conflicts of interest and such other matters as
may be delegated by the Board. The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Baker,
Ewing, Heurtematte and Sterrett, all of whom are non-employee, "independent"
directors, with Mr. Heurtematte serving as the "audit committee financial
expert." The Audit Committee met once and acted by consent through five
conference calls in 2004.

                                       5


         COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The Compensation Committee sets the
compensation for executive officers of the Company and sets the terms of grants
of awards under the Company's 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1993
Plan"), the Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Plan"), the 1999
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan"), the 2004 Equity
Plan, and any other equity-based compensation plans adopted by the Company. The
Compensation Committee, composed of Messrs. Baker, Ewing, Heurtematte and

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS


         As of July 2000, non-employee directors are entitled to receive a cash
retainer fee of $2,500 per quarter, plus $1,000 per Board meeting and $750 per
Committee meeting. Effective beginning the quarter ending September 30, 2003,
non-employee directors' compensation was amended by the Board to include a cash
retainer fee of $6,250 per quarter, per member. In addition, the non-executive
chairman of the Board will receive an additional $1,250 per quarter, while each
chairman of its three Committees will receive $625 per quarter. All members of
the Board are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attending
Board meetings. Pursuant to the 1999 Plan adopted at the 1999 Annual Meeting and
amended by the Board in July 2000, each non-employee director is provided with
an automatic grant of a non-qualified option to purchase 25 shares of Common
Stock on the date following each fiscal quarter in which the director serves.
Each such option (i) has a 10-year term, (ii) has an exercise price per share
equal to 100% of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date
of grant, and (iii) becomes fully exercisable on the date of grant. Mr. Ewing
has waived the quarterly option grants due for service on the Company's Board of
Directors for the calendar years 2004 and 2005. Mr. Ramadan, who serves as a
director as well as an officer of the Company, does not receive any compensation
for serving on the Board. During 2004, total compensation paid to the four
non-employee directors of the Company amounted to $98,750 in the aggregate,
exclusive of stock options.

       (1)      Mr. Ramadan joined the Company as its CEO and CFO, July
                12, 1999. He became the Company's President in August 2000. On
                July 12, 2002, Mr. Ramadan's employment agreement was renewed
                with amendments for an additional three years.

       (2)      The amounts shown represent the cost of a leased automobile
                provided to Mr. Ramadan for each year indicated.

       (3)      Amounts in year 1999 through 2001 represent the number of
                qualified stock options granted each year to Mr. Ramadan under
                the 1998 Plan. These options listed are exercisable, and the
                option price per share is set forth in Mr. Ramadan's employment
                contract (See: Employment Agreement.) As part of his employment
                agreement renewal in 2002, the number of options to be granted
                was increased to 1,500 per year for the duration of his
                three-year agreement. The options are exercisable at a per share
                price equal to the fair market value of such share, as
                determined by the average of the bid and ask price of such share
                at the close of the market on the date of the grant.

       (4)      The amounts shown represent accruals for a compensation
                plan reserve of $100,000 per year for the years 2000 through
                2002, which was approved and accrued in 2003, and $100,000 for
                the year 2003, which was approved and accrued in 2004, and an
                additional $100,000 for the year 2004 to be approved and accrued
                in 2005. Subject to the execution of a new definitive employment
                agreement with Mr. Ramadan, these accruals will be paid through
                future issuances of stock and option grants awarded to the
                senior executive of the Company.

RAMI S. RAMADAN. Effective July 12, 2002, the Company entered into a renewal of
a three year employment agreement with Mr. Ramadan pursuant to which he will
continue to serve as the Company's CEO, CFO and President at an annual salary of
$400,000. Mr. Ramadan is eligible to participate in the 1998 Plan, Executive
Compensation Plan and any present or future employee benefit plans. He also will
be reimbursed for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses necessarily
incurred in the performance of his duties. Mr. Ramadan will also receive three
separate equal annual installments of options to acquire the Company's Common
Stock, each of which shall have a 10-year term commencing upon the date on which
each installment is granted. Upon commencement of the renewal agreement, Mr.
Ramadan received 1,500 options exercisable at a per share price equal to the
fair market value of such share, as determined by the average of the bid and ask
price of such share at the close of the market on the date of the grant. In the
event the employment agreement is terminated other than for cause, as defined in
the agreement, Mr. Ramadan will receive two years' salary. In addition, upon
expiration of his employment agreement, if TWC elects not to renew Mr. Ramadan's
employment, TWC shall continue to pay him his base salary and his medical
insurance benefits then in effect in semi-monthly increments until the date of
the earlier of the commencement of his full time employment with another
employer, or the first anniversary date of the expiration date of the employment
agreement. The Compensation Committee and the Board have also approved the
Company's accrual of a "compensation plan reserve" of $100,000 per year, for the
years ended 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. The Company accrued $300,000 for
this purpose in 2003, $100,000 in 2004 and $100,000 to be deferred in 2005,
subject to the adoption of a deferred compensation plan and the execution of a
new compensation agreement, which are anticipated to be executed during this
calendar year. In that regard, Mr. Ramadan has been in the process of
negotiating a new employment agreement with the Compensation Committee of the
Board. While no definitive agreement has been signed, the terms, which have been
agreed upon, contemplate the execution of a new employment contract for the
period of July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007, in which Mr. Ramadan will
serve as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at an
annual salary of $400,000.



                                      11



Once executed, the contract may be extended with one year annual extensions
after December 31, 2007, subject to a 90-day prior notification from either the
Company or Mr. Ramadan of an intent not to extend. In the event the employment
agreement is terminated by the Company other than for cause, which will be
defined in the agreement, Mr. Ramadan will be paid a severance. It is also
contemplated that a new Profit Sharing Bonus Plan will be established for
selected senior officials of the Company including Mr. Ramadan. This plan will
be based on the Company's consolidated net income and return on shareholder's
equity, subject to adjustment for changes in the Company's capital. A deferred
compensation plan will also be instituted, wherein a portion of Mr. Ramadan's
bonus will be deferred and invested in shares of the Company's common stock.
With the execution of a definitive agreement, Mr. Ramadan will be awarded
175,000 stock options with a seven-year term and 75,000 shares of restricted
stock. The stock options will vest over a five-year period and be available for
exercise at an initial exercise price of $2.80 per share, which price will
increase by three percent semi-annually. The restricted stock will vest in
increments of 25,000 shares upon the achievement by the Company of certain
targeted performance thresholds. The vesting of the stock options and the
restricted stock is further subject to Mr. Ramadan's continued employment with
the Company, provided, however, that all unvested options and unvested
restricted stock will automatically vest upon the closing of a change of control
transaction.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

         On March 5, 2004, TWC's Board of Directors approved a one (1)-for-one
hundred (100) reverse stock split of its authorized and issued common stock,
$.001 par value per share, with all fractional shares being rounded up to the
next whole share. The reverse split was effective April 5, 2004. The results of
the reverse stock split will not only affect the present holders of the
Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, but the number of shares available
for grant or issuance under the 1998 Plan and the 1999 Plan and corresponding
warrants and options will be proportionally adjusted on a one (1)-for-one
hundred (100) ratio as well.

                PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE 2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

         Since 1993, the Company has emphasized the grant of stock options at
fair market value exercise prices as a means of providing long-term incentive
compensation to, and encouraging a long-term commitment by, its employees. These
grants have been made pursuant to the 2004 Equity Plan adopted by the
stockholders of the Company at the 2004 Annual Meeting, the 1998 Stock Option
Plan and a predecessor stock option plan. The Company believes that stock
options and other stock compensation have enhanced the Company's ability to meet
its long-term goals and intends to continue to utilize this means of
compensation for its employees.

         The 2004 Equity Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of
the Company's Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has, among other
powers, the power to interpret the 2004 Equity Plan and any instrument or
agreement relating thereto, as well as to establish, amend, suspend or waive
such rules and regulations as it deems appropriate in connection with its
administration of the 2004 Equity Plan. These powers also provide the
Compensation Committee with the discretion to determine the number and type of
awards to be granted to any participant, subject to certain limitations. Under
the 2004 Equity Plan, no participant is permitted to receive an award or awards
during any one calendar year covering, in the aggregate, more than 25,000 shares
of Common Stock. In addition, a minimum vesting period of one year is mandated
for all awards, including stock options, granted under the 2004 Equity Plan.

         It has been determined by the Board of Directors that these
requirements limit the power of the Compensation Committee in establishing
adequate awards. In that regard, the Board of Directors has approved two
amendments to the 2004 Equity Plan in order to further its purpose and enable
the Company to adequately compensate its employees as well as to encourage their
continuing commitment to the Company, including the changes being contemplated
in the compensation package being negotiated with the Company's President. (For
a discussion of the new compensation package now being negotiated with the
Company's President, see "Management Compensation Employment Agreement.") The
proposed amendments would provide the Compensation Committee with the discretion
to determine whether to include a one-year vesting requirement for any future
grants awarded under the 2004 Equity Plan to any of the Company's employees and
increase the number of awards permitted to be granted to any one participant
annually from 25,000 shares of Common Stock to 250,000 shares of Common Stock.
Stockholders of the Company are being asked to consider and vote on these
proposed amendments at this Annual Meeting.


                                       12

                  terms and conditions of any Award, INCLUDING THE DETERMINATION

                  Shares, other securities, other Awards, other property and
                  other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be
                  deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder
                  thereof or of the Committee; (vii) interpret and administer
                  the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Award

                  Plan; (ix) determine the meaning of the terms "retirement" and
                  "permanent and total disability" for purposes of the Plan; and
                  (x) make any other determination and take any other action
                  that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the
                  administration of the Plan.

                                   ***********

                  SECTION 4.  Shares Available for Awards.

                                   ***********

                           (b) Award Limits. Notwithstanding any
                  provision herein to the contrary, the following provisions
                  shall apply (subject to adjustment as provided in Section
                  4(c)):

                               (i)    in no event shall a Participant
                                      receive an Award or Awards during any one
                                      calendar year covering in the aggregate
                                      more than 250,000 Shares (whether such
                                      Award or Awards may be settled in Shares,
                                      cash or any combination thereof); and"

         With the adoption of these amendments, the Compensation Committee would
have the flexibility it needs to further the goals of the 2004 Equity Plan and
align employees who receive award grants more closely with the interests of the
stockholders.


THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
AMENDMENTS TO THE 2004 EQUITY PLAN.

Committee and the Board will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even
if the selection is ratified, the Board, at its discretion, may direct the
appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the
year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the
Company and its stockholders.
