NAATI Translation Pricing
Fixed per-document pricing in Thai Baht, with an AUD reference for expats and international students. Roughly AUD 22–110 per document at the current 45 THB/AUD conversion. No word counts, no surprise surcharges — quote confirmed in under 15 minutes on LINE.
Why per-document, not per-word
NAATI-based practitioners inside Australia quote per word (AUD 0.28–0.40) because they operate under Fair Work minimum-wage cost floors. Working out of Bangkok lets us pin a fixed range per document type — which matters because Home Affairs asks for document-shaped bundles (civil records, financials, evidence), not word volumes.

FAQs
Do you quote per word like NAATI translators inside Australia?
No — we quote per document at a fixed range. Word-count pricing (AUD 0.28–0.40/word) is standard for AATI-based practitioners because Fair Work minimum-wage cost floors push the number up. Working from Bangkok lets us fix a per-document range instead, which is more predictable for a bundle of civil records.
Is there a bulk discount for a full visa bundle?
Yes — 15% off when the bundle contains 10 or more documents ordered in one instruction. Common triggers: 309/100 partner bundle, 500 student bundle, 189 skilled bundle. Ask on LINE @NAATI for a quote against your ImmiAccount checklist.
What does 'soft-copy delivery' include?
A high-resolution PDF signed digitally by the practitioner with the NAATI stamp visible, plus a QR link to verify the Practitioner ID at naati.com.au/online-directory. Every state Registrar of BDM, Home Affairs, VicRoads, Service NSW, and every Australian university accepts this format as-is.
Do I pay extra for hard-copy shipping to Australia?
Only if you request hard-copy dispatch. Rates: DHL Express AUD 45 (3 business days to CBD), Australia Post Express AUD 25 (5 business days), Standard EMS AUD 18 (7–10 business days). Most partner-visa and student-visa applicants use soft-copy PDF only.
Are Express and Same-Day surcharges applied on top of the base range?
Yes — Express 24-hour: +30%. Same-Day 6-hour: +80%. Both routes pair a senior practitioner with a peer reviewer working in parallel to preserve quality. Standard 3-business-day turnaround remains the default.
