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)

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.

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.

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.

How do we get exact fees and timelines?

Processing times and official fees vary by application type, receiving office, document completeness and local queues, so fixed figures on a web page would be misleading. Our team quotes case by case after reviewing the actual documents — contact us by phone, LINE or email.

Is a work permit the same as a visa in Thailand?

No. A visa such as Non-Immigrant B is issued by a Thai embassy or consulate, extensions of stay are approved by the Immigration Bureau, while the work permit itself is issued by the Department of Employment under the Emergency Decree on Managing the Work of Aliens B.E. 2560 (2017). Holding a valid visa does not by itself authorise employment, and working before authorisation carries legal penalties, so both tracks must be planned together.

What must an employer prepare for a first foreign hire?

Typically current company records — registration certificate, shareholder list, financial statements and tax filings — together with social security registration for employees and an employment contract whose job title and scope match the permit sought. Ratio requirements for Thai employees or minimum registered capital may apply under the rules in force, so the corporate structure should be reviewed before filing begins.

What is the IEAT route?

Operators inside industrial estates governed by the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand may be permitted to bring in skilled workers, experts and their families under the IEAT Act. It is a separate legal basis from BOI promotion, but the work permit and stay formalities still have to be completed with the responsible agencies.

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

  • â€Ē Company side: current affidavit, shareholder list, financial statements, social security filings
  • â€Ē Employee side: passport, the correct visa category, and the required medical certificate
  • â€Ē Degrees and experience letters, legalised at source and translated for Thai use
  • â€Ē Employment contract and job description
  • â€Ē Workplace map and photographs where requested
  • â€Ē 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

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

Tips from our team

  • â€Ē Set reminders at least 45 days before either expiry date.
  • â€Ē Maintain a standing company document pack to speed up future filings.
  • â€Ē 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.

Rather not learn by trial and error? Send your case details and document photos for a review — reach us on LINE, phone or email during business hours.

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

Business licensing and BOI: advice and cautions

Before you start
  • Consider BOI when your activity is an eligible promoted activity

    A promotion certificate carries incentives and shareholding conditions that differ from an ordinary company. Compare minimum investment, technology and employment conditions per activity before committing.

  • Check whether your activity sits on a restricted list

    The Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 groups activities into Lists 1–3 with different conditions. Define the real activity first, then pick the route: licence, certificate, treaty right, or a BOI promotion certificate.

  • Plan licences together with work permits for foreign executives

    Thai-to-foreign staff ratios and registered capital determine how many work permits you can obtain. Design the staffing structure early to avoid emergency capital increases.

  • Treat product and premises permits as separate from the business licence

    Company registration does not authorise sales. Food, cosmetics and medical devices require FDA Thailand registration, and production or storage premises are inspected separately.

Common reasons documents get rejected
  • Assuming a BOI certificate covers every activity

    Incentives attach only to the promoted activity and its stated conditions. Revenue from non-promoted activities must be accounted for separately and taxed normally.

  • Foreign documents older than the accepted validity window

    Parent-company affidavits and powers of attorney often have a validity period from issue. A slow legalisation chain can expire them before filing, forcing a fresh set.

  • Using nominee Thai shareholders

    Holding shares on behalf of a foreigner without genuine investment breaches the Foreign Business Act, and the source of Thai shareholders' funds can be examined. We do not assist with such structures.

  • Ignoring post-approval reporting duties

    Most licences require periodic reporting, renewal or notification of changes. Missing these can lead to revocation even when the business operates normally.

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.

What clients usually handle next

One document set often moves through several stages — translation, notarial certification, legalization and finally a visa filing. The links below follow that real sequence.

External authority references

Authority requirements change. Verify with the receiving authority before filing, 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 requirements — Requirements change; the file must match the current official notice, not last year's checklist.
  • No guaranteed-approval claims — Approval is at the consulate's discretion and cannot be contracted for.
  • Explains the additional-documents scenario — Requests for more evidence are routine and need a response plan.
  • Separates government fees from service fees — Consular fees are payable regardless of who prepares the file.
  • Keeps your data and originals traceable — Visa files contain financial and identity documents that need documented handling.

Questions to ask before you commit

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

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.
