ORIGINAL POSTER

TLDR : Answer Summary

Applicants from non-English speaking countries, such as France, are typically required to provide documents in English or Thai when applying for a Thai visa, including the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa). While some users reported that they did not translate their bank statements and submitted documents in French without issue, it is commonly advised to have translations available. Notarization by the embassy may also be required for translated documents in some cases.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

I did the whole Dtv in France and didn’t translate anything. But maybe I was just lucky. I put letters in English, and summary of banks in English, but original documents were all in French. They don’t ask official translation though. So you can put google translation of documents for peace of mind,

Yes, only English or Thai. Some Thai Embassies want you to have the translated documents notarized by your Embassy.

check with the relevant embassy, it really does depend on if they can read the documents or not. And English is accepted everywhere as the primary business language hence it’s used in other places.

As far as I know, all embassies only accept documents in Thai or English. Well, at least here in Asia.
