Why Choose NYC Visa & Translation

How to choose the right Non-B Extension (Thai Company Employment) · Japanese passport provider in Thailand

Choosing the right Non-B Extension (Thai Company Employment) · Japanese passport provider directly impacts the success and turnaround of your case. NYC Visa & Translation has worked with 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 Extension (Thai Company Employment) · Japanese passport 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 Extension (Thai Company Employment) · Japanese passport 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 — 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.

Service Knowledge Base

Thailand visa answer bank — LTR, DTV and staying on in Thailand

Answers to the Thailand visa questions applicants actually ask: the BOI-administered LTR visa, the DTV for remote workers and Thai Soft Power activities, filing through Thai e-Visa, and extending stay on form TM.7 — plus which supporting documents must be translated and certified. Based on MFA, Immigration Bureau and BOI announcements. (27+ search topics covered)

Is a two-step translation acceptable for non-English originals?

Direct translation from the original language into Thai or English is safer, because relaying through an intermediate language multiplies the risk of errors in names and dates. Where a direct translator is genuinely unavailable, some authorities accept a certified English translation made in the country of origin, which is then translated into Thai. Confirm the position with the receiving office before commissioning work so the translation is not done twice.

How long can a DTV holder stay per entry?

Up to 180 days per entry, with one in-country extension of up to a further 180 days per entry, filed at an immigration office. Granting the extension is at the officer's discretion.

What are the fees?

Government fees follow published schedules and change periodically. Our service charge depends on document volume, languages and urgency, so it is quoted per case. Contact our staff by phone, LINE or email for a quotation matching your situation.

How far in advance should documents be dated?

Several Thai and foreign authorities treat civil registration extracts, police clearance and bank evidence as valid only for a limited recent period, and the period is set by the receiving authority rather than by any agency. Ordering fresh extracts too early is a common cause of rework, because the document can expire while the certification chain is still running. Sequence the chain backwards from the appointment date.

Which LTR categories exist?

BOI publishes four main categories: Wealthy Global Citizen, Wealthy Pensioner, Work-from-Thailand Professional and Highly-Skilled Professional, with dependants permitted under the conditions set for each category.

Where are Thai visas applied for from abroad?

Through the official Thai e-Visa system at thaievisa.go.th, operated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which routes the application to the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate covering your area. Avoid intermediary sites that are not on official government domains.

What is the difference between TM30 and 90-day reporting?

TM30 is the accommodation owner's or manager's duty to notify the authorities of a foreigner staying at the address within the statutory deadline. The 90-day report is the foreigner's own duty after 90 continuous days in the country. Both are separate and both must be done.

What happens if someone enters Thailand on the wrong visa category?

Holding a category that does not match the actual activity can block an extension of stay, prevent a work permit, or lead to refusal at the border. Changing category inside Thailand is possible in some situations under Immigration Bureau rules, subject to remaining validity and supporting documents; otherwise a fresh application at a Thai embassy abroad is required. Diagnosing the real purpose at the outset is cheaper than correcting the category later.

Thai visas and extensions — documents, steps and common mistakes

Keep three concepts separate: the visa (permission to travel), the permission to stay stamped at entry, and the work permit. A visa never guarantees admission — the immigration officer at the border decides.

Documents to prepare

  • Passport with sufficient validity and blank pages
  • The application form for your category plus compliant photos
  • Proof of address in Thailand and a TM.30 filed by the housemaster
  • Financial evidence meeting the category rules, seasoned for the required period
  • Category-specific support: marriage certificate, company affidavit or school acceptance letter
  • Foreign documents translated and legalised through the inbound chain

Step-by-step process

  1. 1. Match the category to your purpose Confirm eligibility criteria before assembling any paperwork.
  2. 2. Prepare and translate documents Foreign records need home-country certification plus a Thai-accepted translation.
  3. 3. File through the correct channel Thai embassy abroad, the e-Visa system, or an immigration office in Thailand as applicable.
  4. 4. Post-approval obligations TM.30 notification, 90-day reporting, and a re-entry permit before leaving the country.

Pitfalls and rejection causes

  • Leaving Thailand without a re-entry permit cancels an extension of stay immediately.
  • 90-day reporting is not a visa extension — they are unrelated obligations.
  • Funds must be seasoned for the stated period, not deposited the day before filing.
  • Holding a visa is not permission to work; a separate work permit is required.

Tips from our team

  • Keep copies of every entry stamp and TM.30 for smoother extensions.
  • Read your permitted-to-stay date from the stamp, not the visa validity.
  • Always carry a spare document set; offices differ in copy requirements.

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.

Advisory Service

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

Pre-submission review

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

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, tax and legal work: advice and cautions

Before you start
  • Fix the structure before registration

    Shareholding, objectives and required licences should be settled before filing; later changes require amendment filings and extra time.

  • Assess tax residence before planning

    Liability depends on tax residence and any applicable double-tax agreement; evaluate before moving funds or receiving cross-border income.

  • Separate personal and company banking

    Mixed accounts complicate financial statements and tax explanations, and cause problems when bank evidence supports a visa or work permit.

  • Check for sector-specific licences

    Some activities need a licence from a specialist regulator before operating. Verify at the planning stage.

Common reasons documents get rejected
  • Late statutory or tax filings

    Late filing triggers statutory surcharges and penalties and can affect renewal of foreign executives' work permits.

  • Treating a contract translation as legal advice

    A translation conveys wording but does not assess legal risk. Have a lawyer review the substance before signing.

  • Outdated company certificates

    Certificates submitted should be freshly issued and consistent with the current register, or the receiving authority will refuse them.

  • Wills that ignore cross-border assets

    Assets in different countries may fall under different succession rules; ensure multiple wills do not contradict each other.

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 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?

Full handling including appointmentsFamilies and deadline-bound travelBiometrics and interviews still require the applicant in person.

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.
