🇸🇦 Employment Certificate → Arabic (Standard)

The Employment Certificate is rarely a simple, free-form letter. It contains official Thai terminology — registry numbers, district codes, parental information, registration officers' titles — that translate differently depending on the receiving country. Where a generic agency might localise "พ.ศ." into the Common Era inconsistently across header, body and footer, our QA enforces a single calendar convention front-to-back so the receiving registrar can audit dates at a glance.

Letter must state position, start date, gross salary, and contract type — embassy officers reject vague letters. We also draft a compliant template if needed.

Our Arabic (Standard) desk maintains a glossary reconciled against:

• The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs Department of Consular Affairs
• The Arabic (Standard) embassy in Bangkok
• Relevant universities, professional bodies, and court systems in Arabic (Standard)-speaking jurisdictions

The practical payoff is measurable: fewer than two Employment Certificate files per hundred ever come back for Arabic (Standard) re-issuance, and the ones that do almost always involve a client-side document change rather than a translation defect.

Published price band for a typical 1-page Employment Certificate → Arabic (Standard) job, broken down by gate so you can see exactly where the money goes:

• Translation: ฿500 – ฿1,100 (includes company seal & certifying statement, MFA-accepted).
• Notary Public (Notarial Services Attorney): ฿1,500 – ฿4,000 per document if required by the destination.
• Thai MFA legalisation: ฿800 – ฿1,500 per document.
• Arabic (Standard) embassy attestation: ฿2,500 – ฿12,000 per document depending on embassy.

The total bill scales with page count, with rush options at +50–100%, and with whether the destination demands additional notarised affidavits. Send a scan via LINE @NYCLI or email nyclegal@ilc.ltd for a fixed quote inside 15 minutes during business hours.

The same eight-step workflow runs on every job — none of the gates are optional and none are bypassed for speed:

1. Document intake. Send us a high-resolution PDF/photo of the original Employment Certificate. We verify it is a current Amphur or court-issued copy.
2. Translation into Arabic (Standard). Performed by our credentialed translator recognised by the Arabic (Standard) embassy in Bangkok. Names, dates and registration numbers are cross-checked against your passport.
3. Company certification. We affix our official translator seal and a signed declaration accepted by Thai MFA.
4. Second-eye QA. A senior reviewer cross-checks every page against the source and flags any name/date inconsistency before the seal is applied.
5. Thai MFA legalisation. Our courier files at the Department of Consular Affairs (Chaeng Watthana) the next working day. Standard return: 3–5 working days.
6. Notary Public (if required). One of our six in-house Notarial Services Attorneys notarises the translation, which most embassies require.
7. Delivery. Pickup at our office, courier in Bangkok, EMS across Thailand, or DHL Express to 200+ countries.
8. Arabic (Standard) embassy attestation. We submit to the destination embassy in Bangkok and collect the legalised document.

In practical use overseas the translated Employment Certificate travels with companion documents — the catalogue below covers what most Arabic (Standard) registrars and consulates expect to see on the same desk.

• Visa — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.
• Sponsorship letter — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.
• Loan application abroad — typically also needs your passport bio page and a recent photo.

Budget two working days for the translation itself; the legalisation chain adds the days after that. Adding MFA legalisation extends the total to 4–7 working days. Embassy attestation adds another 3–10 working days depending on the destination.

For urgent cases we offer:

• 4-hour rush translation — surcharge of 50–100%.
• 1-day express MFA — additional government fee, file before the 09:30 cut-off.
• Embassy priority queues — available with most embassies in Bangkok at a small handling fee.

If you are reading this after a rejection notice landed on your desk, the cause is almost certainly inside the five-item list below:

• Missing MFA or embassy gate — most Arabic (Standard) authorities require both, not just one.
• Out-of-date copies — embassies usually want a Employment Certificate issued within the last 3–6 months.
• Translations done by uncertified translators that lack the MFA-accepted seal.
• Names spelled differently across passport, Employment Certificate and supporting documents — Arabic (Standard) authorities require an exact match.
• Photocopies submitted instead of originals with attached translation.

For UAE and Saudi use, the Arabic version must be on its own paginated copy with the translator's seal in red, not black — a recurring rejection cause for general translators.

For the Employment Certificate specifically, our Arabic (Standard) desk pays particular attention to:

• Officer titles. Registrar, Chief District Officer and District Officer are kept distinct, mapped to whichever term the destination registry uses internally.
• Form codes. Original Thai reference numbers and registration codes are preserved verbatim.
• Name transliteration. Arabic (Standard) authorities check the translated name against your passport — any mismatch is grounds for rejection.
• Official seals & stamps. Thai stamps and signatures are described in the target language so overseas officers can verify authenticity.
• Dates & calendars. The Thai Buddhist year (พ.ศ.) must be converted to the Common Era; we provide both formats side-by-side.

The bilingual glossary below is the same one our Arabic (Standard) reviewers apply to every file — copy it across to whoever is double-checking the document at the receiving end:

• Certified translation / คำแปลรับรอง — translation accompanied by a signed declaration of accuracy; required by MFA.
• Apostille — single-step alternative to MFA+embassy for Hague Convention members (Thailand: not a signatory yet → MFA route applies).
• Transliteration — converting Thai script names into Arabic (Standard) characters; must match the spelling in your passport.
• Embassy attestation / รับรองสถานทูต — the Arabic (Standard) embassy in Bangkok validates the Thai MFA stamp.
• Sworn translator / ผู้แปลสาบาน — translator officially registered with a foreign court or ministry; relevant for Arabic (Standard) in some EU jurisdictions.
• MFA legalisation / รับรองกระทรวงการต่างประเทศ — the Department of Consular Affairs authenticates the translator's seal; mandatory for most overseas use.
• Notarisation / รับรองโนตารี — a Notarial Services Attorney certifies the translator's signature or the copy; required by some Arabic (Standard) authorities.

We operate as a fully registered Thai law firm — not a translation agency — and our Arabic (Standard) desk reports inside the firm's notarial and legalisation practice. We operate six in-house Notarial Services Attorneys, a panel of more than 200 certified translators across 205 languages, and a dedicated MFA & embassy liaison team that visits the Department of Consular Affairs at Chaeng Watthana every working day.

For the Arabic (Standard) pair your file is handled by translator recognised by the Arabic (Standard) embassy in Bangkok who is screened on three criteria: native or near-native Arabic (Standard) command, demonstrated court-grade legal-translation experience, and a clean track record with Thailand's MFA and the relevant embassy. Every translator signs an NDA covering attorney-client privilege.

Concrete reasons clients return

• Confidentiality by default. Files are encrypted at rest, deleted from working storage 90 days after delivery, and never used as AI training data.
• Single-window service. Translation, Notary, MFA filing, embassy attestation and worldwide courier are booked once — you do not chase three vendors.
• Fixed-fee quotes within 15 minutes. No surprise charges after the work begins; the LINE quote is the invoice you receive on delivery.
• Bilingual case manager. One person handles your file end-to-end; ask questions in Thai, English or via your preferred language.
• Rejection insurance. If MFA or the Arabic (Standard) embassy rejects our work due to a translation defect, we re-file at no charge and absorb the government re-filing fee.
• EN, TH and Arabic (Standard) support by phone, LINE, WhatsApp, WeChat, KakaoTalk, Telegram and email.

Our service-level promise is first-attempt acceptance by the destination Arabic (Standard) authority, and the measured first-pass rate sits in the high nineties. If the receiving office requests an additional step — for example a sworn translator's signature notarised in the destination country, or a translation re-done into a regional dialect — we provide a follow-up service from our partner network of overseas counsel.

• Apostille substitution letter — for receiving authorities that mistakenly request an Apostille (Thailand is not yet a Hague signatory), we provide a notarised explanation letter accepted by most foreign registrars.
• Long-term archiving — your translated and legalised file is archived for 7 years; request a fresh certified copy at any time without re-paying for translation.
• Re-issuance — if the destination retains the original, we keep the certified scan on file and produce another legalised copy on 48-hour turnaround.
• Affidavit of translation accuracy — a sworn statement signed before a Notary Public in the destination country; we prepare the bilingual template.
