TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for a bank statement's language for a DTV visa varies depending on the Embassy or Consulate. Some embassies accept documents in the local language while others require them in English or Thai. It's recommended to check the specific embassy's website for their requirements. One user suggested providing an original bank statement along with a translation.

Depends where you apply. You can usually provide in the local language, Thai or English. But always check the embassy website to be sure.

I sent the original one and then I used chatgpt to make a translation and send that as well.

Depends on the Embassy/Consulate you’re applying to. Some will allow people to submit documents in the local language while others explicitly state that all documents must be in either Thai or English.
