Driving in France: IDP 1968.

NYC Legal handles certified translation, MoFA/embassy legalisation when required, and Thai DLT coordination to issue your IDP using the Vienna 1968 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

How it works — IDP for France (Vienna 1968)

Frequently asked questions

How long can I drive in France?

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

Do I need to carry my Thai licence too?

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

439. Does your criminal defense law firm represent foreign victims of fraud or scams in Thailand?

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). 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.

327. Where to rent wireless tour guide systems with headsets for a factory tour in the automotive industry?

The whole workflow runs online, so clients abroad do not need to fly back to Thailand to sign every page. 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.

456. Is there a coordination service for claiming old-age pensions from Switzerland and Germany for Thai widows?

The VIP concierge track covers appointment booking, document pickup and delivery, and authorised representation wherever the law allows it. 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.

472. Can a Destination Wedding Planner in Phuket arrange a wedding venue and handle the legal marriage registration simultaneously?

Interpreters are matched to the setting: court and police station, government and embassy, medical, simultaneous booth work, and remote VRI/OPI. 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.

579. How do foreign franchise brands protect their trade secrets and proprietary recipes under Thai IP law?

Regional headquarters, IBC and industrial licence files move through several agencies at once, so we run them as a single plan with one named coordinator. 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.

584. What are the legal requirements for setting up an online digital streaming and broadcasting service in Thailand?

Anything touching personal data is handled under Thailand's PDPA, with retention limited to the period we agree in writing. 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.

399. Is there an express translation service for payslips and bank statements to attach to a tourist visa application?

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. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.

571. Can an agency provide corporate governance and board compliance training for foreign directors?

Cross-border holding and family-office structures need layered authentication; we map notary to Apostille to destination in one plan. 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.

552. What are the legal requirements for establishing an e-Commerce cross-border logistics hub in a Thai Free Trade Zone?

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. 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.

487. Which agent provides premium health insurance covering the 50,000 USD requirement for the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa?

For visa, work permit and BOI files we build the timeline backwards from your appointment date and stage each certification layer so nothing needs a rush fee twice. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.

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

Q95502.At which stage of Thai driving licences and converting a foreign licence is a foreign driving licence with a certified translation required, and which office receives it?

Driving licences are issued by the Department of Land Transport. Foreign applicants present a passport with a qualifying non-tourist visa, a certificate of residence from Immigration or their embassy, and a medical certificate. Holders of a valid foreign licence may be exempted from certain tests under the Department's regulations. Keep the bundle paired original-to-Thai-translation, with signed copies of every relevant passport page. Watch out: leaving Thailand without a re-entry permit immediately voids an existing permission to stay. 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.

Q95530.How should the heir of a foreigner holding assets in Thailand prepare for Thai driving licences and converting a foreign licence so nothing is missing or filed late?

Driving licences are issued by the Department of Land Transport. Foreign applicants present a passport with a qualifying non-tourist visa, a certificate of residence from Immigration or their embassy, and a medical certificate. Holders of a valid foreign licence may be exempted from certain tests under the Department's regulations. 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.

Q95012.At which stage of Thai permanent residence (PR) is the house registration of the housemaster required, and which office receives it?

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. 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.

Q95267.Which official Thai website publishes the current rules and forms for the 90-day report (TM47)?

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: 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.

Q95112.How should a family relocating with school-age children prepare for Thai naturalisation and dual nationality so nothing is missing or filed late?

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. 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).

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

Q95334.What statutory deadline applies to extensions of stay and re-entry permits, and what happens if it is missed?

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: 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).

Q95204.If the applicant is abroad or travels frequently, how can TM30 residence notification still be handled?

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. If the permitted stay is close to expiry, allow time for certification, translation and appointment booking.

Q95590.How should a permanent resident renewing residence documents 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: 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).
