Why Choose NYC Visa & Translation

How to choose the right Non-B / Non-IB Visa for BOI-Promoted Companies provider in Thailand

Choosing the right Non-B / Non-IB Visa for BOI-Promoted Companies provider directly impacts the success and turnaround of your case. NYC Visa & Translation has worked with Board of Investment (BOI) + Immigration Bureau since 2010, handling a broad real-world caseload across government documents, certified translations, and documents intended for use abroad. Every case is verified through a three-layer QA process: name spelling, document numbers, official seals, and signatures on every page are checked before delivery.

Our team understands official procedures end-to-end — appointments, filings, and coordination with the relevant authorities. You do not have to travel back and forth or risk rejection. Our Non-B / Non-IB Visa for BOI-Promoted Companies service supports Express handling that completes in half the standard turnaround.

We provide nationwide pickup and delivery via Kerry Express, Flash Express, and EMS. Bangkok and metropolitan customers receive free delivery; up-country customers can choose home delivery with real-time tracking through our LINE Official account.

Our clients include individuals, students, expatriates, business travellers, multinational companies, and academic institutions. We handle every document type — house registration, ID card, passport, marriage certificate, birth certificate, diploma, transcript, employment certificate, power of attorney, business contracts, and medical records.

Our Non-B / Non-IB Visa for BOI-Promoted Companies workflow runs in six clear stages: (1) receive originals and copies, (2) QA-audit the source for issues that would cause rejection, (3) translate through a native-speaker linguist, (4) certify with the authority required by the receiving country, (5) file and follow up at each government touchpoint, and (6) deliver plus retain a signed PDF you can re-download for five years. A single Case Officer owns your file end-to-end, eliminating hand-off errors that plague larger firms.

We invest continuously in compliance practices aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 (information security), Thailand PDPA (personal-data protection), and AES-256 file encryption. Every upload runs over TLS 1.3 only. Enterprise and law-firm clients can request an NDA before intake — our legal team signs same-day.

Beyond single-document work, we bundle end-to-end packages for clients preparing multiple certificates at once — e.g. a "moving abroad" bundle (house registration + birth + marriage + diploma + transcript with MFA + embassy) that reduces the number of trips and total lead time versus filing each item separately. Approval remains at the discretion of the receiving authority; contact our team for scope and fees.

What sets us apart is a 15-year direct working relationship with the destination authority — Board of Investment (BOI) + Immigration Bureau — so we anticipate regulation changes, format tweaks, and queue timing before they hit your case, and brief you in advance. Approval outcomes always remain at the sole discretion of the authority; what we control is document completeness, formatting and lodgement timing.

Work permits, BOI/IEAT privileges, Treaty of Amity and APEC card — practical answers

First-party answers on Thai work authorisation: the standard Department of Employment route, BOI and IEAT channels for skilled experts, US company rights under the Treaty of Amity, and the APEC Business Travel Card for Thai nationals — including which supporting documents must be translated and legalised first. (19+ search topics covered)

What happens to the permit if I change employer or job title?

Authorisation is granted by reference to the employer, workplace and described duties, so a change in any of them normally requires a filing rather than a private arrangement. Continuing to work under the old permit after the change is treated as unauthorised work. Plan the change with the new employer before resigning, because the gap between employments also affects the underlying permission to stay.

Why are Thai work permit applications commonly returned?

The usual reason is that the job title and duties in the application do not match the employer's supporting documents, such as the company affidavit, financial statements and employment contract. Other frequent causes are qualifications claimed without properly certified translations, and applying under a business activity that is not among the objectives registered with the Department of Business Development. Map every document to the same set of facts before filing and confirm the current requirements with the Department of Employment office responsible for the workplace.

How are foreign degrees and experience letters handled?

They usually must be translated into Thai or English as required and legalised through the diplomatic chain: certified in the issuing country (apostille where that country is a Convention party), then endorsed by the Royal Thai Embassy, or endorsed by that country's embassy in Thailand and then legalised by the Legalization Division of the Department of Consular Affairs before submission.

What rights does the Treaty of Amity give US companies?

The 1966 Treaty of Amity and Economic Relations lets US nationals and majority US-owned companies operate in Thailand on largely the same footing as Thai nationals, exempt from many restrictions of the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542, with some sectors still excluded such as land and certain resource activities. Use of the treaty requires nationality certification through the US Embassy and registration with the Department of Business Development.

Can dependants of a permit holder work?

Dependant status does not create work rights. A dependant who wants to work needs their own employer and their own work permit under the normal conditions. Family documents such as marriage and birth certificates usually need translation and legalisation for both immigration and labour filings.

Can I keep my work permit after changing employer?

A work permit is tied to the employer and the described work. Changing employer or the nature of the work requires notification or a fresh authorisation within the timeframe set by the Department of Employment's rules. Working for a new employer before that is completed falls outside the scope of the permission and exposes both employee and employer to penalties.

Can dependants of a work-permit holder work?

Permission to stay as a dependant and permission to work are separate matters. Dependants admitted on the basis of the principal's status do not gain an automatic right to work; they need an employer and their own work permit application under the normal criteria. Children entering school require a separate process, including certified translations of academic records.

Can I start working while the application is pending?

Working before authorisation is granted exposes both the worker and the employer to penalties under the foreigners' working management law. The safe course is to agree a start date conditional on issuance, and to keep the employment contract, the position description and the employer's registration documents consistent with what was filed, since discrepancies between the contract and the filing are a frequent cause of rejection.

Thai work permit — company-side and employee-side documents

Work permits are issued by the Department of Employment and are tied to the employer, position and workplace. Changing job, role or location requires a new filing.

Documents to prepare

  • Company side: current affidavit, shareholder list, financial statements, social security filings
  • Employee side: passport, the correct visa category, and the required medical certificate
  • Degrees and experience letters, legalised at source and translated for Thai use
  • Employment contract and job description
  • Workplace map and photographs where requested
  • Power of attorney for the company's filing agent

Step-by-step process

  1. 1. Check company and role eligibility Registered capital, Thai-to-foreign staff ratio and reserved occupations are verified first.
  2. 2. Prepare foreign documents Qualifications and experience letters must be legalised abroad and translated before filing.
  3. 3. File the application Through the Department of Employment, or a dedicated channel such as the BOI One Stop Service.
  4. 4. Collect and comply Work only within the stated role and location, and renew before expiry.

Pitfalls and rejection causes

  • Working outside the stated role or location breaches the permit conditions.
  • A permit belongs to the employer — it cannot follow you to a new company.
  • Visa and permit expire on different dates; track both.
  • Company documents older than the accepted window must be reissued.

Tips from our team

  • Set reminders at least 45 days before either expiry date.
  • Maintain a standing company document pack to speed up future filings.
  • BOI-promoted companies should use the dedicated channel to cut steps.

Prefer not to handle the queues yourself, or worried about a rejection? Send us photos of your documents for a free pre-check. We handle the full chain — obtaining certified copies, translation, certification and submission — and keep you updated at each step. Reach us on LINE, phone or email during business hours.

Route Comparison

Comparing Thai work permit routes

Different employer types use different channels, and each channel pairs with a different visa category.

RouteWhen to useCertifying authorityApprox. durationRejection risk
Standard filing with the Department of EmploymentThe employer is an ordinary Thai company without BOI promotionDepartment of Employment, Ministry of LabourVariable, driven by how complete the employer's file isThai-to-foreign staff ratios and registered capital not meeting thresholds is the common refusal ground
BOI-promoted company channelThe employer holds a promotion certificate and the position is on the approved listBOI together with the Immigration Bureau and Department of EmploymentGenerally faster than the standard route, still variableA position that differs from the approved list requires an amendment first
Conditional or short-term work authorisationShort assignments or job types covered by specific published rulesDepartment of Employment under the notification in forceShorter than a full applicationWorking beyond the authorised scope is an offence even when a permit exists

Timelines above are practical estimates from live casework and can change with each authority's policy; confirm with the receiving authority before booking travel. If you would rather not test routes by trial and error, our advisers can assess which route fits your case.

Advisory Service

We do not just process documents — we advise you through the whole case

Our team has worked on cross-border documents, certified translation and government liaison for over 15 years. Most rejections we see are not caused by missing paperwork but by choosing the wrong route on day one, so we always start with a case assessment.

Route assessment

We look at your destination, purpose and deadline, then tell you which certification route applies — and which steps you can skip.

Pre-submission review

Name spelling, consistency across documents, document age and translation format are checked before anything reaches a counter.

Timeline planning

We sequence the steps around your appointment or travel date and flag bottlenecks in advance.

Rejection recovery

We read the refusal reasons, identify the underlying cause, and plan a resubmission that answers what the authority asked for.

Practical Q&A

Practical questions · Near me / DIY / Required documents

What is the route for Thai company documents used abroad?

Obtain the company affidavit, shareholder list (BorJor 5) or latest memorandum from the Department of Business Development, translate into the language the destination requires, then legalise at the Legalization Division of the Department of Consular Affairs. If the destination is not an Apostille Convention party, the destination country's embassy certifies last.

Must the company affidavit be freshly issued?

Most receiving authorities set a validity window counted from the registrar's issue date, commonly measured in months. Check the recipient's requirement before ordering copies: filing an out-of-date affidavit is a frequent rejection cause, and legalisation cannot revive an expired document.

How is a corporate power of attorney certified?

An authorised director signs before a Notarial Services Attorney, attaching a current company affidavit that evidences signing authority. The signed POA then goes to the Department of Consular Affairs and, where required, the destination embassy. Ask our team by phone, LINE or email for the order that applies to your country.
Practical advice & cautions

Legalization & apostille: practical advice and cautions

Before you start
  • Allow for each step's queue

    Total turnaround depends on the current workload of the consular office and of the destination embassy. Plan ahead rather than against a tight travel date; we can give a case-specific range by phone, LINE or email.

  • Get the receiving party's requirements in writing

    Universities, employers and registry offices publish their own checklists. Obtaining that checklist first fixes the number of copies, the language and the certification route correctly on the first attempt.

  • Keep a scanned backup at every stage

    Photograph or scan every page before submission and again after each stamp, so you have a reference if a document is lost in transit.

  • Check whether the destination is an Apostille Convention party

    For member states the chain ends with an apostille and no embassy step is needed. For non-member states the document must continue through the destination country's embassy. Verify the current member list on the HCCH website.

Common reasons documents get rejected
  • Certifying a copy that no longer matches the register

    If a registry entry changes after the copy was issued, for example a name change or address move, the certified copy will contradict the database. Re-issue before starting.

  • Ignoring the required translation language

    Some countries accept only translations into their own official language, not English. Certifying an English translation first can mean repeating the entire chain.

  • Signature mismatch

    Signature attestation is compared against the signature on the ID card or passport. A different signature style will be refused at the counter.

  • Opening a bound and sealed bundle

    Bundles sealed across the binding must never be separated. Removing the staple voids the certification and the whole set has to be redone.

Requirements differ by authority and destination country and can change. Confirm current conditions with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.

Choosing a visa document service for travel abroad

A visa outcome is the consulate's discretion, so judge a provider on process, not promises. Reliable providers state the current published requirements of your destination, prepare a file that matches them, explain what happens if the consulate asks for more, and never claim guaranteed approval. Anyone promising a result is describing something they do not control.

How to evaluate a provider

  • Cites the destination's published requirementsRequirements change; the file must match the current official notice, not last year's checklist.
  • No guaranteed-approval claimsApproval is at the consulate's discretion and cannot be contracted for.
  • Explains the additional-documents scenarioRequests for more evidence are routine and need a response plan.
  • Separates government fees from service feesConsular fees are payable regardless of who prepares the file.
  • Keeps your data and originals traceableVisa files contain financial and identity documents that need documented handling.

Questions to ask before you commit

  1. If the receiving authority rejects or asks for changes, do you correct it, and under what terms?
  2. How can I track status, and who physically holds the original documents?
  3. Which official notice are you basing my checklist on, and when was it published?
  4. If the consulate asks for extra documents, what is your process and timeline?
  5. How many working days does it actually take, counted from a complete file?

FAQ on choosing a provider

Which visa service is recommended, and how do I avoid a bad one?
Choose a provider that cites the destination's current published requirements, separates consular fees from its own, and explains how it responds if extra documents are requested. Avoid anyone offering guaranteed approval, since the decision belongs to the consulate.
Does using an agent improve my chance of approval?
An agent cannot influence the decision. What a good agent does is make sure the file is complete, internally consistent and formatted the way the consulate expects, which removes the avoidable reasons for refusal.
