Has anyone tried using an official balance letter from your bank as a replacement for an official statement?

I'm traveling to Taipei on Monday to apply, but found out today that my official monthly statement (for September) might not arrive until the end of next week.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Several users confirmed that using an official balance letter from a bank can be acceptable as a replacement for an official monthly statement when applying for a visa. It is recommended to bring both the latest monthly statement and the balance letter if available, as different authorities may have varying requirements.

Not sure what you meant by official balance letter in lieu but my friend used the statement showing investable cash and it worked

They told me your most recent statement with the required ending balance is ok. Bring your latest and the balance letter if you have one

Unfortunately, my most recent official statement (from August) does not have the 500K. I transferred it in several weeks ago.

ok, so the balance letter with your other statements should be ok. Do you have other bank account statements?

I do not. The money was transferred from an investment account that does not generate traditional statements. I may have to wait until the end of the week when my official statement arrives. I was was just hoping to apply sooner and that someone had luck using an official balance letter in lieu of not having an official statement.
