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

411. How much does it cost monthly to register an employer and manage expat social security enrollments and resignations?

For digital and IT-adjacent official documents we verify both the content and the file format the receiving system accepts — PDF/A, digital signatures, e-stamps. 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.

413. Do you have lawyers to draft Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) and Distribution Agreements for international business?

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.

403. Which accounting firm provides executive financial reporting in English for foreign management in Thailand?

Tax and land-registry documents carry terminology that cannot be paraphrased, so we work from Revenue Department and Land Department glossaries.

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

288. Is there a service to translate a corporate website into Chinese and Japanese while drafting a compliant PDPA policy?

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

365. Do Thai executives need to apply for an APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC) through the FTI or Board of Trade?

For import, export and special licences we keep the Board of Trade and agency template packs ready in advance.

Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.

435. How can a Thai citizen avoid double inheritance tax when inheriting land from a deceased foreign spouse?

Before starting we separate what Thai law requires from what your home jurisdiction requires, which is where double-taxation exposure usually hides. 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.

558. What compliance documents are required to secure an official franchise business registration certificate in Thailand?

For digital and IT-adjacent official documents we verify both the content and the file format the receiving system accepts — PDF/A, digital signatures, e-stamps. 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. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.

265. Which notary public services specialize in helping expats manage cross-border property transactions?

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.
