TLDR : Answer Summary

To use JPChase bank as proof of funds for a visa, it depends on the context. Outside of Thailand, the type of bank shouldn't matter. However, for visa applications or extensions within Thailand, you must have a Thai bank account with a Thai bank to meet proof of funds requirements.

If you mean proof of funds for purchasing a visa from an embassy outside of Thailand, then what bank you have shouldn't matter.

If you mean for proof of a visa or extension INSIDE of Thailand, then no, you need a THAI bank account with a THAI bank to meet proof of funds requirements. If there is a branch of this bank in Thailand it is not a consumer bank, it is a commercial bank.

interesting! I've never noticed there's a difference. In Viet Nam, virtually all the banks dealing with individuals are called "commercial banks" in their official names. And foreign banks like SC and HSBC provide retail/consumer services like in other countries. So you're saying those like SC and HSBC don't provide retail/consumer services for individuals in Thailand, but only serve commercial purposes for institutions? Am I understanding it correctly? I don't know anything at all about banking, and our system in VN is all kinds of weird, so I have no frame of reference.
