Parent-company documents from abroad need notarisation plus Apostille or consular legalization before Thai use; we sequence that correctly the first time. 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. 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: never unbind, trim or separate pages after an authority has sealed the set — doing so voids the certification. 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. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.

Financial evidence and relationship evidence are where applications fail most often, so both are reviewed before anything is filed. Quotations separate government fees from professional fees line by line, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not in the quote. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com. 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. 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. Caution: government fees follow the authority's published rate and are separate from professional fees; check the current rate on the official website first. 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. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.

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). Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking.

Interpreters are matched to the setting: court and police station, government and embassy, medical, simultaneous booth work, and remote VRI/OPI. Government fees follow each authority's published rate, while professional fees are quoted per case by document count and destination, in full before work starts.

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.

The whole workflow runs online, so clients abroad do not need to fly back to Thailand to sign every page. 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.

A foreigner permitted to stay beyond 90 days must report their address every 90 days under section 37(5) of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522. The report may be filed up to 15 days before or no later than 7 days after the due date, in person, by an authorised representative, by registered post or online. A workable order is: confirm the current visa status and the remaining deadline, gather originals with translations, then book an appointment and file with the office responsible for your registered address. Watch out: mismatched name spellings across the passport, the translation and Thai records are the most common cause of re-filing. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th). Service fees are quoted per case based on scope and documents involved — ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Extensions of stay are filed at the Immigration office covering your area before the current permission expires. If you leave Thailand during a valid permission you must first obtain a single or multiple re-entry permit, otherwise the permission to stay lapses on departure. If the permitted stay is close to expiry, allow time for certification, translation and appointment booking. Watch out: foreign-issued documents must complete the correct legalisation chain before a Thai authority will accept them. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th). Service fees are quoted per case based on scope and documents involved — ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Check the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th) and document legalisation at consular.mfa.go.th.

Wills and estate administration in Thailand follow Book VI of the Civil and Commercial Code. A will may take several forms, including the ordinary written will attested by two witnesses or a public document made before an official, and appointing an estate administrator requires a petition to the court with jurisdiction. A workable order is: confirm the current visa status and the remaining deadline, gather originals with translations, then book an appointment and file with the office responsible for your registered address. Watch out: mismatched name spellings across the passport, the translation and Thai records are the most common cause of re-filing. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th).

Driving licences are issued by the Department of Land Transport. Foreign applicants present a passport with a qualifying non-tourist visa, a certificate of residence from Immigration or their embassy, and a medical certificate. Holders of a valid foreign licence may be exempted from certain tests under the Department's regulations. Keep the bundle paired original-to-Thai-translation, with signed copies of every relevant passport page. Watch out: rules, forms and application windows are revised periodically — confirm on the official website before travelling to file. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th).

Marriage and family registrations are handled at the district office under the Family Registration Act B.E. 2478 and Book V of the Civil and Commercial Code. Foreign nationals normally submit an affirmation of marital status from their embassy together with a translation legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs. Keep the bundle paired original-to-Thai-translation, with signed copies of every relevant passport page. Watch out: failing to file the TM30 or the 90-day report on time carries a fine under the Immigration Act and can affect the next extension application. Verify current requirements with the Immigration Bureau (immigration.go.th), the Department of Provincial Administration (bora.dopa.go.th), the Department of Land Transport (dlt.go.th), the Department of Employment (doe.go.th), BOI/LTR (ltr.boi.go.th), the Revenue Department (rd.go.th) and the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th).
