Driving in China (PRC): จีนยังไม่ภาคีอนุสัญญา ต้องสอบใบขับขี่จีน แต่ใช้ IDP แสดงประวัติได้.

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

Step-by-step · How it works

Frequently asked questions

How long can I drive in China (PRC)?

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

Yes — the IDP is a translation only; police will inspect both.

What if my Thai licence expires?

Renew the Thai licence first, then issue a new IDP.

Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team

424. How much are the legal fees for drafting a prenuptial agreement to protect assets before marrying a foreigner?

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.

525. What is the minimum capital requirement when registering a Foreign Representative Office in Thailand?

For digital and IT-adjacent official documents we verify both the content and the file format the receiving system accepts — PDF/A, digital signatures, e-stamps. 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.

578. What permits are required to host a public trade exhibition or international convention center event?

Electronic documents must be traceable to their source, so deliverables ship with an audit trail whenever the receiving party asks for one. 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.

470. Does your agency offer online e-Visa application assistance for Australia and New Zealand for clients unfamiliar with the system?

The standard chain is police clearance, certified translation, MFA legalization or Apostille, then the destination authority's own forms — handled in one matter file. 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. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.

281. Does a translated nursing license need embassy legalization before I can work as a nurse abroad?

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. 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.

573. How do foreign publishing houses register and distribute printed or digital media legally in Thailand?

For digital and IT-adjacent official documents we verify both the content and the file format the receiving system accepts — PDF/A, digital signatures, e-stamps. 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.

403. Which accounting firm provides executive financial reporting in English for foreign management 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. 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.

310. Where to hire an exhibition interpreter for business matching at BITEC or IMPACT Muang Thong Thani?

Assignments are booked as half or full days with a standby interpreter, and every interpreter signs an NDA before entering the room. 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. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.

496. Do you offer a turnkey DTV visa package that includes Muay Thai enrollment, health insurance, and accommodation sourcing?

Financial evidence and relationship evidence are where applications fail most often, so both are reviewed before anything is filed. 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. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.

284. What are the notary fees for authenticating an expat condominium lease agreement in Thailand?

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.

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

Q95774.At which stage of VIP concierge and urgent document handling for expatriate executives is a foreign driving licence with a certified translation required, and which office receives it?

Executive document work usually chains several authorities: translation, legalisation at the Department of Consular Affairs, embassy submission, then Immigration or the Department of Employment. Sequencing the chain and issuing the right powers of attorney up front avoids repeat trips. If the permitted stay is close to expiry, allow time for certification, translation and appointment booking. 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.

Q95608.If the passport spelling differs from the Thai documents, does that affect wills and estates of foreigners in Thailand, and how is it fixed?

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. 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: 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.

Q95224.At which stage of the 90-day report (TM47) is a marriage certificate or a child's birth certificate required, and which office receives it?

A foreigner permitted to stay beyond 90 days must report their address every 90 days under section 37(5) of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522. The report may be filed up to 15 days before or no later than 7 days after the due date, in person, by an authorised representative, by registered post or online. 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.

Q95308.How should an LTR holder working remotely 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. 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.

Q95743.Which official Thai website publishes the current rules and forms for tax residency and the certificate of residence (R.O.21)?

A person present in Thailand for an aggregate of 180 days in a tax year is a Thai tax resident under section 41 of the Revenue Code, and may request a certificate of residence (form R.O.21) from the Revenue Department in order to claim double-tax-treaty benefits. 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.

Q95358.At which stage of LTR and DTV long-stay visas is a bank book with a bank certification letter required, and which office receives it?

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

Q95724.How should a family relocating with school-age children prepare for tax residency and the certificate of residence (R.O.21) so nothing is missing or filed late?

A person present in Thailand for an aggregate of 180 days in a tax year is a Thai tax resident under section 41 of the Revenue Code, and may request a certificate of residence (form R.O.21) from the Revenue Department in order to claim double-tax-treaty benefits. 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.

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

Q95436.At which stage of work permits and foreigners' right to work is a will and a schedule of assets required, and which office receives it?

Foreigners' employment is governed by the Royal Decree on the Management of Foreigners' Employment B.E. 2560, as amended in B.E. 2561: a work permit from the Department of Employment must be in place before work starts, and changes of employer or job description must be notified or approved as the law requires. 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).

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.
