Why Choose NYC Visa & Translation

How to choose the right Notary Public (Notarial Services Attorney) provider in Thailand

Choosing the right Notary Public (Notarial Services Attorney) provider directly impacts the success and turnaround of your case. NYC Visa & Translation has worked with Lawyers Council of Thailand under the Royal Patronage 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 Notary Public (Notarial Services Attorney) 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 Notary Public (Notarial Services Attorney) 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 — Lawyers Council of Thailand under the Royal Patronage — 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.

Thai tax, accounting and double tax agreements — practical answers

First-party answers on the 180-day Thai tax residence test, foreign-sourced income remitted into Thailand, personal and corporate filings, statutory accounting under the Accounting Act B.E. 2543, and claiming double tax agreement relief — grounded in the Revenue Code and Revenue Department guidance. General information only, not a case-specific tax ruling. Our staff quote fees per matter by phone, LINE or email. (19+ search topics covered)

How is Thai tax residence determined?

Principally by the number of days present in Thailand in the tax year set by law, which affects the scope of income taxable in Thailand. Keep verifiable entry and exit records, and check the other country's rules too, since dual residence is possible.

Do foreign employees file their own Thai tax return?

Yes. Even where the employer withholds tax, the income earner must still file PND.91 or PND.90 depending on income types, within the deadline announced by the Revenue Department for that tax year. Ask your employer for the withholding tax certificate (form 50 Tavi) as evidence. If you also remit foreign income into Thailand, treaty relief should be considered as part of the filing.

What is the Thai corporate income tax rate?

The standard rate is 20% of net taxable profit, with a half-year return (PND.51) and an annual return (PND.50). Reduced rates apply to qualifying small and medium enterprises under the royal decrees in force, and BOI-promoted activities may enjoy exemptions or reductions under their promotion certificate. Check the entity's specific status before computing.

Can I get a Thai certificate of residence for treaty purposes?

Yes, if you meet the Thai tax residence test and have filed Thai returns, you can apply to the Revenue Department for a certificate of residence (form R.O.22) to claim treaty benefits abroad. Supporting documents commonly include your passport with entry and exit stamps, evidence of your stay, and proof of Thai filings and tax paid.

When does someone become a Thai tax resident?

Under section 41, paragraph 3 of the Revenue Code, an individual present in Thailand for an aggregate of 180 days or more in a tax year (1 January to 31 December) is a Thai tax resident. The days need not be consecutive, and residence status is independent of visa type or work permit. Residence is the starting point for deciding whether foreign-sourced income brought into Thailand falls within Thai tax.

What records should a treaty claim be supported by?

Keep the foreign withholding tax certificates, remittance advices showing the date and amount transferred, the underlying contract or invoices, and your Thai filing for the same tax year. A treaty claim is assessed on whether the income category, the payer, the period and the amounts reconcile across those documents, so gaps in the paper trail are the usual reason a claim is queried. Retain originals for the statutory retention period and obtain certified translations only for the documents an authority actually asks for.

Which documents does a foreign tax authority usually ask for under a treaty?

Typically the residence certificate, the withholding tax certificate issued by the Thai payer, the underlying contract or invoice, and evidence of beneficial ownership of the income. Requirements differ by treaty article and by the receiving country's own procedure, so obtain the recipient authority's checklist in writing first. Translations must reproduce every stamp, reference number and signature block, because reviewers compare the translation against the original page by page.

What does a double tax agreement actually do?

It allocates taxing rights between two states, can reduce withholding on certain income types, and sets the relief method by exemption or credit. Claiming benefits usually requires a tax residence certificate and the supporting documents the Revenue Department specifies.

Tax documents and Double Tax Agreement (DTA) claims

Claiming DTA relief usually requires a Certificate of Residence (R.O.22) from the Thai Revenue Department together with consistent income evidence, and the translation often has to be certified before use abroad.

Documents to prepare

  • Certificate of Residence (R.O.22)
  • Withholding tax certificate (R.O.21) where tax paid must be evidenced
  • Filed returns: PND.90/91 for individuals or PND.50 for companies
  • Passport / ID and evidence of days present in Thailand
  • Contracts or documents showing the source of income

Step-by-step process

  1. 1. Confirm residence status Verify that the day-count threshold is met for the tax year claimed.
  2. 2. Apply for R.O.22 File the application with the Revenue Department together with income and filing evidence.
  3. 3. Align the supporting set Figures in the returns, contracts and payment evidence must match.
  4. 4. Translate and certify Where the destination requires another language, certify the translation at the Department of Consular Affairs.
  5. 5. Final legalization Apostille or destination embassy, per the receiving tax authority's rules.

Pitfalls and rejection causes

  • The tax year on the R.O.22 must match the year claimed, or the whole file is refused.
  • Mismatches between filed figures and payment evidence trigger requests for more documents.
  • Some countries require their own form signed by the Thai Revenue Department, not only the R.O.22.

Tips from our team

  • Ask the receiving tax authority first whether it wants the R.O.22 or its own country form.
  • Allow for Revenue Department processing queues, especially early in the tax year.
  • Keep certified copies for the following year to avoid repeating the work.

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 cross-border tax routes

Tax residence, treaty relief, and foreign tax credits are separate mechanisms; using the wrong one leads to double taxation.

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.

Practical Q&A

Practical questions · Near me / DIY / Required documents

Where can I find a notary public near me in Thailand?

Thailand has no US/UK-style notary public. The authorised signatory is a “Notarial Services Attorney” licensed by the Lawyers Council of Thailand under Royal Patronage, so the work must be done at a firm with such a licensed lawyer. Our main offices are Lat Phrao 95 (Bangkok), Khon Kaen and Udon Thani, with meeting points near BTS/MRT stations and city malls. Ask our team by phone, LINE or email for the most convenient point.

Can I notarise a document myself without a firm?

No. Only a lawyer holding the Lawyers Council notarial-services licence may certify. What you can prepare yourself is the paperwork: the correct original or true copy, and your ID. Signature certification requires you to sign in front of the attorney, so do not sign the document in advance.

Which documents do I need to bring for notarisation?

At minimum: (1) your original passport or Thai ID card; (2) the exact document version you will submit; (3) for company signatories, a company affidavit dated within the period your recipient accepts, plus the seal if used; (4) the destination country and receiving authority, because the wording of the certificate and any onward steps (for example whether MFA legalisation is needed afterwards) depend on the destination.
Practical advice & cautions

Notarial services in Thailand: advice and cautions

Before you start
  • Tell us the destination authority first

    What happens after notarisation differs by country and receiving authority. Some accept the attorney's certification alone; others require further authentication by the Department of Consular Affairs and the destination embassy. Naming the country and authority up front lets us sequence the work correctly.

  • The signer must sign in front of the attorney

    Signature certification confirms the signature was made in person, so bring a valid original ID card or passport and do not sign the document in advance.

  • Bring original documents, not photos or scans

    A certified true copy must be compared against the original in person. If the original is abroad or lost, obtain a certified reissue from the issuing authority first.

  • Confirm whether you actually need a notary

    Requests described as notarisation are often really consular legalisation of a government document or certification of a translation. Clarifying this first avoids repeated work.

Common reasons documents get rejected
  • Assuming Thailand has a common-law notary public

    It does not. Certification is performed by a Notarial Services Attorney registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand. If your recipient specifically requires a Notary Public, confirm in advance that they accept this form of certification.

  • Stopping before the follow-on steps

    Many files are rejected because they stop at the attorney's certification when the recipient also required consular and embassy authentication. Plan the full chain from the beginning.

  • Expired ID or mismatched name spelling

    Names must match your passport. If you changed your name or the spelling differs, bring the supporting change-of-name evidence.

  • Believing certification validates the content

    Certification covers facts observed in person — that the person signed, or that a copy matches the original. It does not certify that the statements are true or legally effective abroad.

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.

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.

Choosing a Notarial Services Attorney in Thailand

Thailand has no notary public in the common-law sense. Notarization is performed by a lawyer registered as a Notarial Services Attorney with the Lawyers Council of Thailand. Verify the registration, confirm the receiving party accepts a Thai notarial attestation, and check whether the document also needs consular legalization afterwards.

How to evaluate a provider

  • Registered Notarial Services AttorneyOnly registered attorneys may perform notarial acts in Thailand; the registration is verifiable.
  • Correct act for your purposeSignature witnessing, true-copy certification and affidavits are different acts with different acceptance.
  • Confirms downstream acceptanceSome receiving parties additionally require consular legalization after notarization.
  • Identity verification on recordThe attestation depends on documented identity checks at signing.
  • Clear appointment and location termsNotarial acts require the signer in person; location and timing affect feasibility.

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. Are you registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand as a Notarial Services Attorney?
  4. Which notarial act does my document need, and will the receiving party accept it as is?
  5. How many working days does it actually take, counted from a complete file?

Your options, and who each suits

FAQ on choosing a provider

Which notary service is recommended in Bangkok?
Choose a registered Notarial Services Attorney who first confirms which act your document needs and whether the receiving party requires consular legalization afterwards. Ask to see the registration and confirm the attorney performing the act is the one registered.
Is a Thai notarization accepted abroad?
It depends on the receiving authority. Some accept the notarial attestation alone; others require subsequent authentication by the Department of Consular Affairs and the destination embassy. Confirm the requirement with the receiving party before booking.
