The problem Thais abroad face
A Thai PCC requires the applicant's fingerprints and CID filing in Bangkok — forcing overseas Thais to fly home at significant cost and time. NYC Legal's POA-based service removes that requirement: you handle only the local fingerprint + embassy step, we handle everything in Bangkok.
8-step workflow (any of 195+ cities)
1) We courier the packet — CID application + POA + fingerprint card + instructions — via email + DHL | 2) You legalise the POA at the nearest Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate (US, UK, AU, JP, KR, SG, AE, DE, etc.) for THB 500-1,500 | 3) Capture fingerprints at a local police station on our card | 4) DHL/FedEx everything back to Thailand (3-5 days) | 5) We file at CID Tung Song Hong | 6) 15-20 business day wait | 7) Receive PCC + translation + MFA/Apostille as chosen | 8) DHL back to your address worldwide.
