Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
274. How to get an Apostille stamp from the Thai MFA for corporate documents to open a branch in South Korea?
Every certified file passes three hands: a native-speaking translator, a subject-matter reviewer, and the responsible attorney who signs the certification page. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking.

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.

582. What regulatory approvals are required to establish an international testing and calibration laboratory in Thailand?

473. Do you provide financial background checks on expats to give luxury property landlords peace of mind?
Tax and land-registry documents carry terminology that cannot be paraphrased, so we work from Revenue Department and Land Department glossaries. 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.

421. Does your law firm represent multinational companies in civil litigation and labor dispute resolution in Thailand?
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. 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.
