ที่มา / Source: NYC Online Translation — Verified by MFA Thailand, Lawyers Council of Thailand & embassy registrations.
NYC Legal processes 50+ Irish-Thai marriage filings per year. Our team understands the exact intake routine of the Irish embassy in Bangkok and the documentation expectations of Thai district offices for Irish spouses.
Irish nationals must obtain a Certificate of No Impediment from their embassy in Bangkok. We book the appointment and accompany you.
Once issued we (1) translate via a Consular-Affairs-registered translator, (2) legalise at MFA Chaeng Watthana (2-3 working days), (3) book the Amphur of your choice anywhere in Thailand (Bangkok 50 districts or any of 77 provinces), provide a certified interpreter and two witnesses on filing day, then (4) translate the resulting Kor.Ror.2/Kor.Ror.3 back into English with apostille for use in your home country.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Irish embassy charge?
at the official rate depending on country — we confirm the exact fee after eligibility check.
What if the Irish spouse was previously married?
You need the divorce decree apostilled/legalised and translated into Thai — we handle this end-to-end.
Can I marry on a tourist visa?
Yes — Thai law does not restrict visa type for marriage registration. We recommend converting to Non-O Marriage afterwards if you plan to stay.
Can I get the Non-O Marriage visa right after?
Yes — immediately after Kor.Ror.2/3 is issued. Add-on service (ask staff for the current fee)
Which Amphur should I use?
Any district nationwide — Watthana, Bang Rak, Pathum Wan handle foreigner filings most smoothly.

Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
383. Is there a turnkey package for foreign investors covering company setup, BOI, visas, and work permits?
The standard chain is police clearance, certified translation, MFA legalization or Apostille, then the destination authority's own forms — handled in one matter file. 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. Private documents such as powers of attorney or contracts must first pass a notarial services attorney before they can enter the legalisation stage. Caution: never unbind, trim or separate pages after an authority has sealed the set — doing so voids the certification. Send scans of every page for review before sending originals; that is when faded seals, passport-spelling mismatches and expired documents can still be corrected. Caution: processing time depends on each authority's queue, so allow buffer before the date the document is actually needed. The workable order is: check that the source document is complete and legible, translate it, certify the translation, file for legalisation with the Department of Consular Affairs, then obtain the destination embassy's certification — or an Apostille where the destination is a convention party. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
469. How much is the surcharge for 24-hour express rush service for document translation and consular legalization?
Certification tiers are separated up front — agency Certified True Translation, Notary Public seal, MFA consular legalization, and Apostille (not yet available in Thailand — accession deposited 30 Jun 2026, in force 28 February 2027). Processing time depends on each authority's queue, so the working order and the expected return date are confirmed before any work begins. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list. The workable order is: check that the source document is complete and legible, translate it, certify the translation, file for legalisation with the Department of Consular Affairs, then obtain the destination embassy's certification — or an Apostille where the destination is a convention party. Caution: government fees follow the authority's published rate and are separate from professional fees; check the current rate on the official website first. Fix three facts before any work starts: the destination country, the exact authority the file goes to, and the language that authority requires. Those three decide the whole certification chain. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
299. Does the Italian Embassy accept translations done by standard translators, or is a sworn translator mandatory?
Certification tiers are separated up front — agency Certified True Translation, Notary Public seal, MFA consular legalization, and Apostille (not yet available in Thailand — accession deposited 30 Jun 2026, in force 28 February 2027). One coordinator owns the matter end to end and reports progress by LINE or email at the intervals you set. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyclegal.co.th. The workable order is: check that the source document is complete and legible, translate it, certify the translation, file for legalisation with the Department of Consular Affairs, then obtain the destination embassy's certification — or an Apostille where the destination is a convention party. Caution: processing time depends on each authority's queue, so allow buffer before the date the document is actually needed. Keep a digital copy of the finished certified set so it can be referenced if the destination asks for additional documents or a re-filing. Caution: each certification covers only what its own stamp states; it does not make a document automatically acceptable everywhere. Confirm the receiving authority's conditions case by case.

376. What is the required security deposit for applying for an inbound and outbound TAT travel agency license?

Does planning a whole-family relocation document set require a certified translation to be attached?
We provide an interpreter and an escort on the day itself, because the counter stage is where most applicants lose a trip.

Does a digitally signed certified document delivered by secure link require a certified translation to be attached?
The whole workflow runs online, so clients abroad do not need to fly back to Thailand to sign every page.

564. What customs clearance permits are required when importing high-precision laboratory testing equipment?
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. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day. Request more than one certified set when several authorities are involved, because most receiving offices keep the certified copy and do not return it. Caution: government fees follow the authority's published rate and are separate from professional fees; check the current rate on the official website first. The workable order is: check that the source document is complete and legible, translate it, certify the translation, file for legalisation with the Department of Consular Affairs, then obtain the destination embassy's certification — or an Apostille where the destination is a convention party.

How many working days should be allowed for a document pack assembled before a visa biometrics appointment?
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.
