Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
467. How do I book the VIP Fast Track immigration lane at Suvarnabhumi Airport for high-level foreign executives?
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. 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. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
432. Can a lawyer file a petition to appoint a legal guardian for a foreigner incapacitated by an accident 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. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
333. Does a foreign divorce registration interpreter at the district office need a background in family law?
Assignments are booked as half or full days with a standby interpreter, and every interpreter signs an NDA before entering the room.

Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
335. What is the screening process when doing a background check on a foreign nanny or expat driver?
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.

Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
418. Can you conduct property due diligence, checking mortgage history and servitudes, before an expat buys a villa in Phuket?
Tax and land-registry documents carry terminology that cannot be paraphrased, so we work from Revenue Department and Land Department glossaries. 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.

588. What are the mandatory fire safety and building inspection compliance filings required for office towers?
Electronic documents must be traceable to their source, so deliverables ship with an audit trail whenever the receiving party asks for one. 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.
285. How many working days does it take to get an Apostille for documents originating from a Hague Convention country?
Every certified file passes three hands: a native-speaking translator, a subject-matter reviewer, and the responsible attorney who signs the certification page. 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.

344. Can I hire a stage interpreter for a Korean brand product launch event in Thailand?
For proceedings that go on the record we staff paired interpreters rotating every 20–30 minutes, per international conference practice. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote.

395. What are the legal precautions for a foreigner setting up a Thai corporate entity solely to buy real estate?
Cross-border wills and estates must be read against the destination jurisdiction, and we coordinate local counsel where that is required.
