Frequently asked
Q.How are multi-page financial statements priced?
As a bundle — full audited financials (25–60 pages) start at THB 8,000–20,000 depending on target language. Turnaround 3–7 business days. We reuse TFRS/IFRS termbases for consistency across periods.
Q.Does BOJ.5 need to be reissued for each use?
Usually yes — MFA authenticates the officer's signature at issuance date, so most embassies want a copy issued within 3–6 months. We can pull a fresh certified copy from DBD on your behalf.
Q.Which target languages do you cover for MOA/AOA?
English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian — each with a glossary mapping Thai Civil & Commercial Code (§1096–1273) to the destination Companies Act.
Q.Can I use these directly to open a foreign branch?
Yes — the standard package for foreign registries is BOJ.5 + MOA + Board Resolution + Bank Statement with MFA + destination embassy attestation. We prepare the full bundle.
Q.Is 24-hour rush available?
Yes for small bundles (BOJ.5 + PP.20 + MOA ≤ 10 pages) with a 30–50% rush surcharge. Larger financials require 3 business days to preserve quality.
Q.Can you also certify at the Thai Chamber of Commerce?
Yes — after MFA we can route commercial documents (Certificate of Origin, Commercial Invoice) to the Thai Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade, adding 1–2 business days.

Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
331. Can a Thai citizen applying for a restaurant job in Australia request a Police Clearance and NAATI translation together?
Certification tiers are separated up front — agency Certified True Translation, Notary Public seal, MFA consular legalization, and Apostille (not yet available in Thailand — accession deposited 30 Jun 2026, expected in force early 2027). Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
277. What is the process for translating and legalizing a foreign certificate of single status at the Thai MFA?
We route each file to the right credential: NAATI for Australia, Ministry of Justice registered translators for Thai court work, and embassy sworn translators for European destinations. Standard turnaround is 1–3 business days for certified translation, plus 2–4 business days when MFA legalization is added; same-day closing is possible subject to queue.
