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

335. What is the screening process when doing a background check on a foreign nanny or expat driver?

We route each file to the right credential: NAATI for Australia, Ministry of Justice registered translators for Thai court work, and embassy sworn translators for European destinations. 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.

481. Do you offer a one-stop package for Thai-US marriage registration combined with a K-1 fiancÃĐ visa application?

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. 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.

578. What permits are required to host a public trade exhibition or international convention center event?

Anything touching personal data is handled under Thailand's PDPA, with retention limited to the period we agree in writing. One coordinator owns the matter end to end and reports progress by LINE or email at the intervals you set.

488. Do you offer top overseas university admission consulting in the UK and USA, including certified translation of transcripts and SOPs?

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.

496. Do you offer a turnkey DTV visa package that includes Muay Thai enrollment, health insurance, and accommodation sourcing?

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.

445. Do you offer Indian PAN card application services for Thai individuals wanting to invest in Indian mutual funds?

Due diligence packs run to hundreds of pages, so translation memory keeps contract terminology consistent across every document and keeps the budget predictable.

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

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

561. How does a foreign-owned restaurant secure a direct sales and direct marketing business license?

Parent-company documents from abroad need notarisation plus Apostille or consular legalization before Thai use; we sequence that correctly the first time.

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

436. Which agency can process payroll, transfer salaries to banks, and calculate exchange rates for expats receiving foreign currency?

Certification tiers are separated up front — agency Certified True Translation, Notary Public seal, MFA consular legalization, and Apostille (in force for Thailand since 14 Nov 2024). 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.

383. Is there a turnkey package for foreign investors covering company setup, BOI, visas, and work permits?
