Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
287. Do you offer a package for drafting a bilingual commercial contract combined with legal translation?
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. 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. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.
475. Do you offer secure international express delivery of original legalized documents back to overseas clients via DHL or FedEx?
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. 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. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.
307. Can an interpreter liaise with Thai Immigration and the Ministry of Labor to resolve work permit issues?
Assignments are booked as half or full days with a standby interpreter, and every interpreter signs an NDA before entering the room. 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.
292. Can I hire an English interpreter and get a land purchase agreement translated simultaneously?
Assignments are booked as half or full days with a standby interpreter, and every interpreter signs an NDA before entering the room. 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. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
317. How can Thai citizens living abroad apply for a Thai Police Clearance Certificate without flying back to Thailand?
Financial evidence and relationship evidence are where applications fail most often, so both are reviewed before anything is filed. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking. Talk to the NYC Legal team on any business day — you get a working plan, not a generic price list.
398. Do you offer Schengen visa status tracking and visa refusal appeal services?
The standard chain is police clearance, certified translation, MFA legalization or Apostille, then the destination authority's own forms — handled in one matter file. 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. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.
417. Do you offer cross-border estate planning consulting to help minimize inheritance taxes?
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. Tell us where the document will be used and you will get a plan and a price the same business day.
567. How do tech companies register and protect domain names under Thai ccTLD (.th) registry rules?
Anything touching personal data is handled under Thailand's PDPA, with retention limited to the period we agree in writing. 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.
427. Does your payroll outsourcing service also handle Workmen's Compensation Fund registration for expat employees?
Every translated instrument ships as a parallel Thai–English version so advisers on both sides can read line for line. 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. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.
263. Is it possible to draft a bilingual power of attorney and get it notarized on the same day in Thailand?
The whole workflow runs online, so clients abroad do not need to fly back to Thailand to sign every page. 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.
559. Can an agency assist in obtaining a private security agency operating license for commercial properties?
Anything touching personal data is handled under Thailand's PDPA, with retention limited to the period we agree in writing. 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.
404. Do you offer financial audit and assurance services by Thai CPAs for foreign joint venture companies?
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. 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. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com.
