자주 묻는 질문
Q.MFA 인증과 영사확인의 차이는?
MFA = 태국 정부가 번역/직인의 진정성을 인증. 영사확인 = 목적국 대사관이 MFA 인증의 유효성을 확인. 대부분의 목적국이 둘 다 요구합니다.
Q.번역 없이 MFA 인증만 가능한가요?
가능합니다(영문 원본을 인정하는 국가). 단 한국·중국·일본 등은 통상 번역이 선행되어야 합니다.
Q.MFA 긴급 처리 비용은?
관청 수수료 400바트(표준 200바트), NYC 대행료 별도. 풀 긴급 패키지(번역+MFA+수령) 2,500–4,500바트/건.
Q.태국은 아포스티유가 유효한가요?
태국은 2024년 12월 31일 헤이그 협약에 가입, 2025년 1월 1일부터 회원국에 대해 아포스티유로 영사확인을 대체할 수 있습니다. 한국·일본은 회원국이므로 아포스티유 사용 가능.
Q.원격 위임이 가능한가요?
가능. 원본을 방콕 사무실로 송부하면 MFA·대사관 접수 후 DHL로 회송합니다. 본인 태국 방문 불필요.
Q.인증 유효기간은?
MFA 인증은 고정 기간이 없으나 일부 목적국이 6개월 이내를 요구. 사용 60–90일 전 발급 권장.
Q.MFA 인증 후 번역을 수정할 수 있나요?
불가합니다. MFA 직인 후 번역은 확정되며, 수정 시 재번역·재인증(재수수료)이 필요합니다.
Cross-service questions, answered by the NYC Legal team
Can an authorised representative carry out choosing a NAATI translator for an Australian filing on someone's behalf?
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. 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. 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: 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. 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. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
Which documents must be prepared for a document pack assembled before a visa biometrics appointment?
Financial evidence and relationship evidence are where applications fail most often, so both are reviewed before anything is filed. 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. 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.

Which authority is responsible for preparing cross-border due-diligence documents, and where can it be filed?
Every translated instrument ships as a parallel Thai–English version so advisers on both sides can read line for line. 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. 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. Private documents such as powers of attorney or contracts must first pass a notarial services attorney before they can enter the legalisation stage. Caution: government fees follow the authority's published rate and are separate from professional fees; check the current rate on the official website first. Request more than one certified set when several authorities are involved, because most receiving offices keep the certified copy and do not return it. Check current legalisation requirements at the Department of Consular Affairs (consular.mfa.go.th) and Apostille membership at hcch.net.
560. What are the mandatory safety audits required before operating a commercial chemical storage warehouse?
The whole workflow runs online, so clients abroad do not need to fly back to Thailand to sign every page. Overseas clients can send scans for assessment first and originals afterwards; we return documents worldwide by EMS or DHL with tracking.

278. Can an agency submit commercial invoices and certificates of origin to the Thai Board of Trade on my behalf?
The whole workflow runs online, so clients abroad do not need to fly back to Thailand to sign every page. 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. Send your documents for a free assessment at +66-83-249-4999 or contact@nyconlinetranslation.com. 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: 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.

How many working days should be allowed for corporate records certified for a regional treasury centre?
Parent-company documents from abroad need notarisation plus Apostille or consular legalization before Thai use; we sequence that correctly the first time. One coordinator owns the matter end to end and reports progress by LINE or email at the intervals you set.

536. What liability and penalty clauses should be included in an IT Service Level Agreement (SLA) between software providers and corporate clients?
Electronic documents must be traceable to their source, so deliverables ship with an audit trail whenever the receiving party asks for one.

419. Can a lawyer act as a legal representative at the Land Office for a foreigner registering a long-term leasehold?
Tax and land-registry documents carry terminology that cannot be paraphrased, so we work from Revenue Department and Land Department glossaries. 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.

Before you start: MFA legalisation & embassy attestation
Practical guidance
- Ask about current processing windows before booking flights or an appointment abroad — authority queues shift through the year.
- Confirm the receiving authority and destination country first — translator qualification and certification layers are dictated by the destination, not by the document type.
- Confirm with the destination embassy which translation language it accepts; several accept only their own official language.
- Sequence the chain before you start: issuing agency → translation → Department of Consular Affairs → destination embassy where required.
Cautions & common rejections
- Foreign-issued documents must be certified in their country of origin first; only then can they be translated into Thai and legalised here.
- Submitting a photocopy where an original or certified extract is required gets refused at the very next certification layer.
- A name that does not match the passport is the single most common rejection reason, and usually forces the whole certification chain to restart.
- Government fees and turnaround times change. Re-check them with the issuing authority close to your submission date.
What to have ready
- A copy of the holder's passport or Thai ID
- Your deadline, so the certification steps can be sequenced in time
- The original document or a certified extract from the issuing authority
- A power of attorney if someone else submits on your behalf
Reviewed 2026-08. Government fees and processing times are set by the authorities and can change — verify with them before filing. Our professional fees are quoted per case by phone, LINE or email.
