Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
481. Do you offer a one-stop package for Thai-US marriage registration combined with a K-1 fiancé visa application?
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.
286. What documents are required to legalize corporate papers at the UAE Embassy in Thailand?
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.
415. Do you provide bilingual Will Drafting services for foreigners wanting to pass on real estate assets in Thailand?
Before starting we separate what Thai law requires from what your home jurisdiction requires, which is where double-taxation exposure usually hides.

478. Do you have an expiry monitoring system to alert expats before their visa, work permit, or passport expires to prevent overstaying?
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. 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.

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. 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.
