332. Are there specialized medical interpreters for foreign oncology patients receiving cancer treatment in Thailand?
For proceedings that go on the record we staff paired interpreters rotating every 20–30 minutes, per international conference practice.

551. Can a multinational corporation set up a Regional Operating Headquarters (ROH) or regional branch office in Thailand?

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.
Q95568.At which stage of wills and estates of foreigners in Thailand is a certificate of residence from Immigration or the embassy required, and which office receives it?
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: 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).

Q95090.At which stage of Thai naturalisation and dual nationality is a medical certificate 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. Check first whether the receiving office accepts online submission or requires attendance in person, since individual Immigration offices differ in practice. 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).

Q95232.At which stage of the 90-day report (TM47) is a will and a schedule of assets required, and which office receives it?

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. 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.
