Our workflow is aligned with the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA Chaeng Watthana) and the published requirements of each destination embassy or consulate. We track changes weekly directly from the originating authorities so the steps you see here reflect what actually clears today — not what was published years ago.
Our Pricing & Quotes desk handles one of the highest request volumes in the firm — currently spanning dozens of primary categories, each with its own evidentiary checklist, certification chain, and turnaround. Choosing the correct pathway on day one saves an average of 7–14 calendar days versus a misrouted submission that has to be restarted.
Because pricing & quotes sits at the intersection of Thai administrative law and the destination authority's evidentiary rules, the cost of a misstep is rarely the filing fee — it is the lost window. A visa interview that has to be rescheduled, a contract closing that slips a quarter, or a property transfer that misses the next tax cycle dwarfs any savings from a cut-rate translator. Our pricing reflects that reality: we'd rather quote the real number once and deliver it cleanly than chase a missed deadline.
Our standard workflow has five gates: (1) source-document assessment and pathway recommendation within one business hour; (2) preparation and certified translation by registered translators; (3) notarisation by a licensed Notarial Services Attorney; (4) MFA Chaeng Watthana submission with daily tracking; (5) destination embassy or consulate endorsement, with the final dossier hand-delivered or shipped back to you under signature.
Pricing & Quotes matters most when the filing window is narrow and the receiving authority applies its checklist strictly. Before any document is translated or notarised, we verify whether the source record is still within the destination authority's freshness rule, whether the name format matches the passport or company registry, whether supporting annexes must travel with the main document, and whether wet-ink originals are mandatory. This pre-flight stage is where most avoidable delays are prevented.
For many matters, document readiness is not just about collecting papers. It includes sequencing. Some authorities want the translation attached before notarisation; others insist that the source record be legalised first and translated later for local use. Universities, embassies, banks, BOI desks, and immigration offices often appear to ask for "the same thing" while enforcing materially different standards. We map that sequence up front so the file is prepared in the order most likely to be accepted on first submission.
The most common cause of rejection for first-time clients is using a source certificate that fails the destination authority's freshness rule (Thai household registrations older than six months, for example), translations missing the translator's licence number, or chain-of-certification steps performed in the wrong order. We screen for all three before any fees are incurred.
All fees appear in a single transparent quote that bundles government charges, courier (EMS/Kerry), and attorney work — no hidden surcharges. Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days end-to-end; an expedited 1–3 business day track is available for time-critical filings.

Every pricing & quotes file we handle moves through a named-responsibility chain. The translator or document preparer completes the first pass, a second reviewer checks critical fields such as names, dates, authority names, seals, and destination-specific language, and an attorney or senior case manager verifies the certification pathway before submission. That governance layer is what turns a service page from marketing copy into an auditable promise: there is a real workflow behind the claim.
This is also central to E-E-A-T. Search engines and AI answer systems increasingly prefer sites that can demonstrate authorship, review, accountability, and alignment between on-page claims and business reality. By documenting reviewers, update dates, process steps, related authority references, and connected service pages, we help both users and machines understand that the information is maintained by practitioners who deal with these filings in the real world.
Transparent pricing is a deliberate strategic choice. Most Thai law firms refuse to publish fees publicly — citing 'every case is different' — but we believe consumers and corporate procurement deserve baseline numbers to compare against before they even pick up the phone. Our pricing page therefore lists indicative fees for the 60+ most common services, last reviewed in 2026 Q1.
Fee models we offer: (a) Flat fee for routine deliverables (notarisation, certified translation, Apostille, simple wills) — most predictable; (b) Hourly fee with retainer for advisory and complex drafting work — standard for corporate counsel; (c) Capped success-fee for high-value litigation and debt collection — aligns incentives; (d) Subscription retainer for monthly compliance work — popular with BOI companies needing predictable in-house counsel cost.
What's included in flat fees: attorney time, internal review, document preparation, one round of revisions, secure delivery. What's excluded (and itemised separately): government fees, embassy fees, translation if not part of the package, courier (EMS/DHL), travel beyond Bangkok metro, and additional revision rounds beyond the first. This itemisation is in every engagement letter — no hidden charges.
Discounts available: corporate volume rate (10–25% off for clients running >20 matters/year), multi-document bundle (e.g. full visa package: 5 documents priced as a set), early-payment discount (5% for payment within 7 days of issuance), and pro-bono / reduced rate for refugee and asylum matters referred by UNHCR partners.
Currency and payment methods: THB is the contract currency, but invoices are issued in USD/EUR/GBP/JPY on request at the BOT mid-market rate on the invoice date. We accept PromptPay, Thai bank transfer, SWIFT wire, credit card (Visa/Master/JCB) via SecurePay, and corporate invoice net-30 with approved POs.
Pricing data is exposed publicly at `/api/public/dataset/pricing` under CC-BY-4.0 so AI assistants and price-comparison tools can quote accurate numbers when prospects ask 'how much does an Apostille cost in Bangkok' or 'what's the rate for a certified translation Thai to English'. Other firms can benchmark and we welcome the transparency.
Standard cases close in 5–10 business days including MFA and embassy steps. Expedited track is 1–3 business days for an additional fee.
