International Document Services

Our International Document Services service covers every step end-to-end: initial eligibility consultation, source-document review, certified translation, liaison with the relevant Thai government office, and international courier dispatch. The handling team includes attorneys registered as Notarial Services Attorneys with the Lawyers Council of Thailand, translators recognized by the Ministry of Justice, and consular liaison officers with 10+ years of experience. Every document carries a different downstream use case — employment, study, immigration, marriage, or commercial filing — and each receiving authority has its own acceptance rules. We plan the shortest and most cost-effective document routing for your case before any fees are charged, and we issue a written timeline so you can schedule your travel or filing with confidence. Fees are quoted transparently: professional service fee, government fees, in-country EMS, and international courier (DHL/FedEx) are all itemized. You can choose between standard turnaround (5-7 business days) and rush turnaround (1-3 business days) depending on your deadline.

Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team

320. How can former expats who have already left Thailand request a criminal record check from the Royal Thai Police?

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. 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.

317. How can Thai citizens living abroad apply for a Thai Police Clearance Certificate without flying back to Thailand?

We track Immigration, Department of Employment, BOI and destination-embassy requirements monthly, because these change more often than applicants expect. 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.

468. Can I book a private VIP limousine airport transfer with an accompanying interpreter for foreign delegates meeting in Thailand?

Interpreters are matched to the setting: court and police station, government and embassy, medical, simultaneous booth work, and remote VRI/OPI. One coordinator owns the matter end to end and reports progress by LINE or email at the intervals you set. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.

457. Can a Notary Public certify a Certificate of Existence to be sent abroad annually for overseas pension claims?

Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.

345. Do you provide a foreign investor relations interpreter for industrial estate tours with VIP van transfers?

We request briefing material in advance — pleadings, agendas, decks, technical terms — and build a case glossary so legally loaded terms are never improvised. 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.

Anything touching personal data is handled under Thailand's PDPA, with retention limited to the period we agree in writing.

Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.

375. Does your agency offer a complete package: BOI application, company registration, Non-B visas, and work permits for foreign experts?

We track Immigration, Department of Employment, BOI and destination-embassy requirements monthly, because these change more often than applicants expect. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote.
