NAATI Translation — Thai Employment Reference Letter for Australia

No. Translation must reflect the duties stated by the employer. If details are missing, check the assessor’s checklist and request an accurate employer record. Occupation selection and skills assessment are separate from translation. Standard occupation descriptions must not replace actual duties merely to make the evidence look suitable.

Check the assessor’s current checklist to establish whether hours are required and in what form. If they are missing, ask the employer for an accurate record. The translator cannot infer hours from a job title, payslip or assumed working week, or issue a new employment statement on the company’s behalf.

Provide the title used by the employer alongside the source letter. If an existing English title and Thai duties appear inconsistent, flag the difference and obtain employer clarification. The translation should not select a new title solely because it resembles an occupation the applicant wishes to nominate.

Do not assume so. The assessor’s checklist may require additional employment or payment evidence for the particular application. Arrange the requested records so that the work periods can be followed. An accurate translated reference does not allow one document to replace every other evidence requirement.

Preserve the company name shown on each document. If records from different periods use different names, provide an explanation or change-of-name evidence requested by the recipient. The translator should not silently replace an earlier employer name with the current name without support in the source.

Send complete readable pages, the recipient’s checklist and existing name spellings for a free initial enquiry. Confirm scope, quotation, delivery timing and PDF or print format before work begins. Check the translator’s certification and language direction in NAATI Directory before filing; the enquiry is not legal advice.
