Driving in Australia: IDP 1949 ใช้ได้ทุกรัฐ.

NYC Legal handles certified translation, MoFA/embassy legalisation when required, and Thai DLT coordination to issue your IDP using the Vienna 1949 format.

We recommend completing the IDP 1-2 weeks before departure. Both the IDP and the original Thai licence must be carried at all times, and most rental companies require sight of both.

Frequently asked questions

How long can I drive in Australia?

3-12 months in most cases before a local licence is required.

Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team

289. How should WhatsApp chat logs be certified when submitted as relationship evidence for a UK settlement visa?

Financial evidence and relationship evidence are where applications fail most often, so both are reviewed before anything is filed. If the receiving authority rejects a file for a reason attributable to our work, we correct and re-file it at no additional professional fee. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.

319. Can expats currently living in Thailand apply for a Thai police clearance to renew a third-country visa?

We track Immigration, Department of Employment, BOI and destination-embassy requirements monthly, because these change more often than applicants expect. Indicative fees: certified translation THB 500–800 per page, consular legalization from THB 400 per stamp, Notary Public from THB 1,500 per signature — always quoted in full before we start. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.

475. Do you offer secure international express delivery of original legalized documents back to overseas clients via DHL or FedEx?

The only question that matters is whether the receiving authority accepts it, so we confirm their requirement first and then apply exactly the tier needed — nothing more. If the receiving authority rejects a file for a reason attributable to our work, we correct and re-file it at no additional professional fee. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.

550. Are there special package discounts for corporate clients bundling company setup, accounting, payroll, and expat visas?

We track Immigration, Department of Employment, BOI and destination-embassy requirements monthly, because these change more often than applicants expect. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.

453. How much does it cost to provide legal witnesses and an interpreter to escort a foreigner for district office marriage registration?

For proceedings that go on the record we staff paired interpreters rotating every 20–30 minutes, per international conference practice. 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. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.

320. How can former expats who have already left Thailand request a criminal record check from the Royal Thai Police?

Every certified file passes three hands: a native-speaking translator, a subject-matter reviewer, and the responsible attorney who signs the certification page. 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.

467. How do I book the VIP Fast Track immigration lane at Suvarnabhumi Airport for high-level foreign executives?

Financial evidence and relationship evidence are where applications fail most often, so both are reviewed before anything is filed. If the receiving authority rejects a file for a reason attributable to our work, we correct and re-file it at no additional professional fee. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.

436. Which agency can process payroll, transfer salaries to banks, and calculate exchange rates for expats receiving foreign currency?

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. One coordinator owns the matter end to end and reports progress by LINE or email at the intervals you set. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.

416. Can a lawyer file a court petition to appoint an estate administrator for foreign heirs not residing in Thailand?

Accounting, tax, property and estate work for foreign nationals is run jointly with our auditors and lawyers so the translated file and the filed file always match. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.

337. Can I hire a Spanish interpreter for negotiating the import of heavy machinery from Europe?

Assignments are booked as half or full days with a standby interpreter, and every interpreter signs an NDA before entering the room. One coordinator owns the matter end to end and reports progress by LINE or email at the intervals you set. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.

816 questions from foreigners living in Thailand — answered by NYC Legal

Q95032.How should a foreign executive working in Bangkok prepare for Thai permanent residence (PR) so nothing is missing or filed late?

Permanent residence is granted under the Immigration Act B.E. 2522, with an annual quota per nationality announced by the Ministry of Interior. Applicants must hold a non-immigrant visa with continuous extensions of stay for the period specified, and the application window is announced by the Immigration Bureau. A workable order is: confirm the current visa status and the remaining deadline, gather originals with translations, then book an appointment and file with the office responsible for your registered address. Watch out: foreign-issued documents must complete the correct legalisation chain before a Thai authority will accept them. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th). Service fees are quoted per case based on scope and documents involved — ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Applicants must hold a non-immigrant visa with continuous extensions of stay for the period specified, and the application window is announced by the Immigration Bureau. A workable order is: confirm the current visa status and the remaining deadline, gather originals with translations, then book an appointment and file with the office responsible for your registered address. Watch out: rules, forms and application windows are revised periodically — confirm on the official website before travelling to file. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th).

Q95598.How should the heir of a foreigner holding assets in Thailand prepare for wills and estates of foreigners in Thailand so nothing is missing or filed late?

Wills and estate administration in Thailand follow Book VI of the Civil and Commercial Code. A will may take several forms, including the ordinary written will attested by two witnesses or a public document made before an official, and appointing an estate administrator requires a petition to the court with jurisdiction. Check first whether the receiving office accepts online submission or requires attendance in person, since individual Immigration offices differ in practice. Watch out: failing to file the TM30 or the 90-day report on time carries a fine under the Immigration Act and can affect the next extension application. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th). Service fees are quoted per case based on scope and documents involved — ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Q95146.At which stage of TM30 residence notification is a lease agreement or title deed for the residence required, and which office receives it?

Under section 38 of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 the housemaster, owner or hotel manager accommodating a foreigner must notify Immigration (TM30) within 24 hours of arrival at the residence; notification may be made in person, by post or through the Immigration Bureau's online system. A workable order is: confirm the current visa status and the remaining deadline, gather originals with translations, then book an appointment and file with the office responsible for your registered address. Watch out: failing to file the TM30 or the 90-day report on time carries a fine under the Immigration Act and can affect the next extension application. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th). Service fees are quoted per case based on scope and documents involved — ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Q95586.How should an investor holding shares in a Thai company prepare for wills and estates of foreigners in Thailand so nothing is missing or filed late?

Wills and estate administration in Thailand follow Book VI of the Civil and Commercial Code. A will may take several forms, including the ordinary written will attested by two witnesses or a public document made before an official, and appointing an estate administrator requires a petition to the court with jurisdiction. If the permitted stay is close to expiry, allow time for certification, translation and appointment booking. Watch out: failing to file the TM30 or the 90-day report on time carries a fine under the Immigration Act and can affect the next extension application. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th). Service fees are quoted per case based on scope and documents involved — ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Q95082.At which stage of Thai naturalisation and dual nationality is the work permit required, and which office receives it?

Thai naturalisation is governed by the Nationality Act B.E. 2508 as amended, filed through the Special Branch Police or the provincial administration, and assessed on residence status, conduct, Thai language ability and settled means of living. Keep the bundle paired original-to-Thai-translation, with signed copies of every relevant passport page. Watch out: rules, forms and application windows are revised periodically — confirm on the official website before travelling to file. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th). Service fees are quoted per case based on scope and documents involved — ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Q95326.How should the heir of a foreigner holding assets in Thailand prepare for extensions of stay and re-entry permits so nothing is missing or filed late?

Extensions of stay are filed at the Immigration office covering your area before the current permission expires. If you leave Thailand during a valid permission you must first obtain a single or multiple re-entry permit, otherwise the permission to stay lapses on departure. Check first whether the receiving office accepts online submission or requires attendance in person, since individual Immigration offices differ in practice. Watch out: mismatched name spellings across the passport, the translation and Thai records are the most common cause of re-filing. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th). Service fees are quoted per case based on scope and documents involved — ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Q95148.At which stage of TM30 residence notification is the house registration of the housemaster required, and which office receives it?

Keep the bundle paired original-to-Thai-translation, with signed copies of every relevant passport page. Watch out: foreign-issued documents must complete the correct legalisation chain before a Thai authority will accept them.

Service fees are quoted per case based on scope and documents involved — ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Q95634.At which stage of marriage, legitimation and family documents for foreigners is a medical certificate required, and which office receives it?

Marriage and family registrations are handled at the district office under the Family Registration Act B.E. 2478 and Book V of the Civil and Commercial Code. Foreign nationals normally submit an affirmation of marital status from their embassy together with a translation legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs. Check first whether the receiving office accepts online submission or requires attendance in person, since individual Immigration offices differ in practice. Watch out: foreign-issued documents must complete the correct legalisation chain before a Thai authority will accept them. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th).

The Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa is administered by the Board of Investment through ltr.boi.go.th, with categories for wealthy global citizens, pensioners, work-from-Thailand professionals and highly skilled professionals. The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is a multiple-entry visa applied for through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs e-Visa system. A workable order is: confirm the current visa status and the remaining deadline, gather originals with translations, then book an appointment and file with the office responsible for your registered address. Watch out: rules, forms and application windows are revised periodically — confirm on the official website before travelling to file. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th).
