Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
344. Can I hire a stage interpreter for a Korean brand product launch event in Thailand?
Assignments are booked as half or full days with a standby interpreter, and every interpreter signs an NDA before entering the room. 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. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
410. Can I outsource payroll processing and payslip generation for foreign employees with complex tax deductions?
Tax and land-registry documents carry terminology that cannot be paraphrased, so we work from Revenue Department and Land Department glossaries. 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.
460. How many days does it take to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) for a Thai driving in Europe, and what are the documents?
The whole workflow runs online, so clients abroad do not need to fly back to Thailand to sign every page. 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. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.
383. Is there a turnkey package for foreign investors covering company setup, BOI, visas, and work permits?
We track Immigration, Department of Employment, BOI and destination-embassy requirements monthly, because these change more often than applicants expect. 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.
282. Do certified true translations for corporate website localization require the physical signature of the translator?
Every certified file passes three hands: a native-speaking translator, a subject-matter reviewer, and the responsible attorney who signs the certification page. 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. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
542. Up to how many months of severance pay can a foreign employee claim under Thai labor law in cases of unfair dismissal?
Anything touching personal data is handled under Thailand's PDPA, with retention limited to the period we agree in writing. 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.
356. Can an agency manage the bank deposits and health insurance requirements for a foreigner's O-A/O-X retirement visa?
Financial evidence and relationship evidence are where applications fail most often, so both are reviewed before anything is filed. 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.
429. Do you draft English language franchise agreements for expanding Thai restaurant brands overseas?
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. 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.
558. What compliance documents are required to secure an official franchise business registration certificate in Thailand?
Electronic documents must be traceable to their source, so deliverables ship with an audit trail whenever the receiving party asks for one. 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.
392. Can you coordinate obtaining a Police Clearance while simultaneously renewing an Australian student visa?
Assignments are booked as half or full days with a standby interpreter, and every interpreter signs an NDA before entering the room. 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.
