Choosing the right Extended Dependent Dependent Visa · Chinese passport (PRC) provider directly impacts the success and turnaround of your case. NYC Visa & Translation has worked with Thai 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 Extended Dependent Dependent Visa · Chinese passport (PRC) 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 Extended Dependent Dependent Visa · Chinese passport (PRC) 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 — Thai 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.

Need your documents reviewed or your case assessed? Ask our team by phone, LINE, or email. We reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00, Sat 9:00–15:00, ICT).
Each long-stay programme has its own eligibility rules, financial evidence and deciding authority. Choosing the wrong programme at the start wastes both time and non-refundable fees.
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.
Each long-stay programme tests a different qualification set and grants different work and dependant rights.
| Route | When to use | Certifying authority | Approx. duration | Rejection risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa | You fit one of the official target groups, such as skilled professionals or steady-income residents | BOI together with the Immigration Bureau | Variable — allow time for qualification and financial document review | Discontinuous or uncertified income records are the main cause of slow assessment |
| Privilege long-stay membership programme | You want concierge-style convenience and do not intend to work in Thailand | The government-appointed programme operator | Variable by qualification review cycle | A right to stay is not a right to work — the work permit is a separate matter |
| Annual extension on ordinary grounds (retirement, family, employment) | You meet the published annual extension criteria | Immigration Bureau | Variable — renew each cycle and report as scheduled | Missing a reporting deadline or seasoning period on deposits fails the renewal |
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.
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.
We look at your destination, purpose and deadline, then tell you which certification route applies — and which steps you can skip.
Name spelling, consistency across documents, document age and translation format are checked before anything reaches a counter.
We sequence the steps around your appointment or travel date and flag bottlenecks in advance.
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.
Extensions, reporting and re-entry permits should be handled well ahead of the deadline; queues and public holidays can make last-minute filing impossible.
Visa conditions change. Check the deciding authority's latest announcement, then use our service to prepare documents and translations that match those conditions.
Many countries set a minimum remaining validity and number of blank pages. Verify before your appointment.
Photograph all filing receipts and stamps; they are key evidence in any later verification.
Civil registry extracts, medical certificates and police clearances have limited validity; old copies make the bundle incomplete.
Periodic reporting, address notification and work conditions are ongoing duties that affect the next extension.
Analyse the refusal grounds and address them; resubmitting the same file usually produces the same result.
No provider can guarantee an outcome; only the immigration authority or embassy decides. Our role is to make the file accurate and complete so avoidable rejections are reduced.
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.
These topics reflect the rules and practice of the relevant authorities and can change. Confirm with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
One document set often moves through several stages — translation, notarial certification, legalization and finally a visa filing. The links below follow that real sequence.
Authority requirements change. Verify with the receiving authority before filing, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
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.
| Option | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Apply yourself | Straightforward profiles with complete documentation | You carry the burden of tracking requirement changes and appointment slots. |
| Document-preparation service | Applicants with complex financial or employment evidence | Confirm whether appointment booking is included in the scope. |
| Full handling including appointments | Families and deadline-bound travel | Biometrics and interviews still require the applicant in person. |
