Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
285. How many working days does it take to get an Apostille for documents originating from a Hague Convention country?
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. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
253. Are there Ministry of Justice (MoJ) certified translators in Thailand for court judgments and case files?
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). Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
551. Can a multinational corporation set up a Regional Operating Headquarters (ROH) or regional branch office in Thailand?
Company name, director names and registered address are cross-checked across every document, because a single spelling mismatch triggers a rejection. 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.
416. Can a lawyer file a court petition to appoint an estate administrator for foreign heirs not residing in Thailand?
Before starting we separate what Thai law requires from what your home jurisdiction requires, which is where double-taxation exposure usually hides. 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. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
394. What is the registration process for setting up a branch office or representative office for a multinational company in Thailand?
Every certified file passes three hands: a native-speaking translator, a subject-matter reviewer, and the responsible attorney who signs the certification page. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
418. Can you conduct property due diligence, checking mortgage history and servitudes, before an expat buys a villa in Phuket?
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. 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.

552. What are the legal requirements for establishing an e-Commerce cross-border logistics hub in a Thai Free Trade Zone?
Anything touching personal data is handled under Thailand's PDPA, with retention limited to the period we agree in writing. 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. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
558. What compliance documents are required to secure an official franchise business registration certificate in Thailand?

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.

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