Can I use proof of balance instead of a bank statement for my visa application in Thailand?
Has anyone applied from Australia with 4 months of proof of balance instead of a bank statement?
I have a history of balance in this way, but not the full statement

Answer summary
The conversation discusses whether proof of balance documents (POB) can substitute for full bank statements when applying for a Thai visa from Australia. Various users share their experiences and insights, suggesting that multiple POB documents showing consistent balances may be accepted, as they provide evidence of maintaining the required minimum balance. Nevertheless, concerns are raised about whether such POBs adequately demonstrate financial stability compared to a full bank statement that includes transaction history.

Anonymous participant I see...
As far as I understand, that should be fine... like if you have your money over different accounts.
Though, it must be "readily available for withdraw..." so standard accounts, not crypto, ETFs, Stocks...
It's also better if you can show a bit more, if not a lot more than the minimum...
I hope that helps.

I would assume a proof of balance is the exact same thing ? Jsut need to show them it never went below the required balance in the last 3 months. This will be shown on the statement you provide them when you export your proof of balance?

a proof of balance is not the same as a bank statement, hence why I’m asking.I have 8 proof of balance documents over the past 4 months, but a bank statement is for a larger period of time and shows in and out and transactions

What's the difference? 4 months proof or 4 months statement. I know Westpac POB is balance at the date of pushing the button.

Maybe they have a proof of balance each month for the last 4 months ? Or they are planning to do proof of balance for the next 4 months ?
Assuming they would do this because the salary would be deposited and then they would pay there bills meaning the amount would drop below the 500k for the month 🤷🏿♂️
I’m no detective but that’s what I can smell

OPKnowledgeableRaccoon5198 nah it’s a savings account, money was in there the whole time!

OPKnowledgeableRaccoon5198 there is 2 a month for the past 4 months, nothing dodgy, my bank just didn’t give a statement for my bank account type and I thought the balance would be enough taken every 2 weeks but now I’m worried!
Graeme ********
KnowledgeableRaccoon5198 Yeah, not recurring being one date. Even for 4 months at 4 x POB forms it won't show the balance dropping which then is the same as just popping 500k in for a day borrowed from a mate which is why they want 3 months seasoning. Problem with statements is the transactions are visible which shows all the dodgy nights out.

Yeah I know how it works mate ,,,,
Knowledgeabl************
Yeah I used commbank proof of balance , ( deposited the day before) no isssue.
That was 2024 though:::
