J’ai fait le visa à Jakarta à l’époque où c’était en physique. Ils ont accepté mes relevés BNP sans traduction. En vrai c’est suffisamment parlant je pense sans traduire.

Après ça dépend des ambassades, donc prudence

I translate for those non French speakers who might be interested.

I did the DTV in Jakarta a couple of months ago when it was still a walk in embassy, and they took my bank slips in French. It seems pretty obvious and easy to understand with no translation.

Be careful however because what can be acceptable in one embassy may be rejected elsewhere.
