TLDR : Answer Summary
Visa applicants from non-English speaking countries typically need to translate their financial documents into English. One user shared their experience of applying in Thailand, indicating that their bank provided English statements but required additional documentation showing balances in both their local currency and Thai Baht.

You need to translate it into English. I’m Russian, but my bank did statements in Eng straight away. But in my homeland currency. So i did small table with ending balances before the bank statements in my currency and in THB, and add currency rate for the day of applying. But I’m still waiting for approval so…:)))
