Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
421. Does your law firm represent multinational companies in civil litigation and labor dispute resolution 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. 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.
297. Can I order a NAATI certified translation of my bank statements online without visiting the office?
Every certified file passes three hands: a native-speaking translator, a subject-matter reviewer, and the responsible attorney who signs the certification page. 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.

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

Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
516. What documents and timelines are involved when applying for Thai citizenship through a Thai spouse?
Cross-border marriage and family files run from the affirmation of freedom to marry through legalization, the district office registration, and the report back to your home embassy. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.

816 questions from foreigners living in Thailand — answered by NYC Legal
Q95024.At which stage of Thai permanent residence (PR) is a certificate of residence from Immigration or the embassy 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: 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).
