Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
361. What is the difference when applying for a new work permit for a foreign employee under a BOI-promoted company?
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. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
391. What documents do Thai citizens need to apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN Card) for financial transactions in India?
Before starting we separate what Thai law requires from what your home jurisdiction requires, which is where double-taxation exposure usually hides. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking.

402. How should a newly established startup set up its accounting system in preparation for a BOI application?
Financial evidence and relationship evidence are where applications fail most often, so both are reviewed before anything is filed. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking.

515. What are the legal steps to translate a child's birth certificate and obtain custody rights for international relocation after a divorce?
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. One coordinator owns the matter end to end and reports progress by LINE or email at the intervals you set. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
354. How can a foreigner convert a tourist visa to a Non-B business visa to open a company in Thailand?

420. Under the Condominium Act, how can a foreigner legally buy a condo with cash transferred from overseas?
Electronic documents must be traceable to their source, so deliverables ship with an audit trail whenever the receiving party asks for one. 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.

437. Can a lawyer coordinate with Thai banks on behalf of a foreign buyer to obtain a Foreign Exchange Transaction (FET) form for buying a condo?
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. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote.

553. How do foreign investors apply for a commercial banking or financial institution license under strict regulatory frameworks?
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.

480. Can I hire a bilingual MC who can act as both an event host and a legal interpreter for a cross-cultural wedding?

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.
