Do I need to provide English documentation for my 500k baht bank account when applying for a Thai visa in Hanoi?

Hello everyone, I understood that I had to justify 500k baht for 6 months on my account. Does the document have to be in English? Does it have to be dated the day I go to the Thai embassy (in Hanoi) or a few days before and it is not a problem?

Thanks 🙏🏻😊

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on the documentation needed to justify having 500k baht in their account for a Thai visa application, specifically whether the documents must be in English and if they need to be dated on the day of their embassy application. Comments suggest that the application is online, highlight the importance of showing bank statements with the required balance, and note that translation may not be necessary.

I submitted original french bank statement with No traduction , i searched in the group and saw a person from Netherland approved in hanoi with no traduction so i do the same. Anyway in bank statements is not much to translate. I used pdf24 to join all docs. If you want translate make sure to also join originals.

You won't be going to the Thai embassy in Hanoi, you will be applying online from inside Vietnam. Look for other posts in this group regarding how long the 500k has to be in your account

thanks, I understood for the 500k and the 6 months. I am asking if the date of the document must correspond to the day of the visa application

The doc dates do not have to match the application date. The 500k does not have to be in your account for 6 months, applying in Vietnam. You need 3- 6 months of statements with a final balance of 500K. Docs should be in English or Thai.

Did they ask for in-person interview?
