Is an ATM slip enough for proof of funds? Im going to Penang, Malaysia. SETV. American Passport. I thought I would be able to print out my bank statement online but it turns out I had to first enable it and it wont be available until next months statement. I have the 20k baht requirement in cash, but I'm not sure if that will work since I have to drop off all the requirements and come back the next day? Im guessing if I give someone 20k cash over night I will never see it again.

If a ATM slip isnt good enough then what would work? Can I just screenshot and print my online banking page? There is no date or name linked on the page showing funds available..

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about using an ATM slip as proof of funds for a Thai Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) while traveling to Penang, Malaysia. They have the required 20,000 Baht in cash but are unsure if an ATM slip will suffice. The consensus in the comments suggests that while an ATM slip may not be ideal, a printout from online banking that shows their name and balance is acceptable. It's advised that they print or save an export of their bank statement to meet the requirements at the embassy and to show the cash upon entering Thailand if requested by immigration.

I figured it out, or well
@Michael *******
 told me how to do it. I just needed to export my statement and download it for it to have my name and the date on it. Hopefully the print shop is open on Sunday because I leave early Monday! Wish me luck =P

As you can read in the box on the picture I posted, using Photoshop or other dubious ways to make documents is a big risk. Stop providing information how to make fake documents or I will use the exit and goodbye button for you.

every transaction has a date and then there will be a date showing your balance if not you have a shit ass bank company and I would switch since that's not convenient at all

Alright. Will just a printout of my online checking balance suffice then? Its in USD but doesn't have my name next to it, just the date.

No probs. I do this regularly for various applications that need statements. Thai banks I can just walk in and order one, but international banks I always order or print the full statement from my online account Has my name and all required details :)

Most banks allow you to order/ export / print a full online statement. This will have your name on it.

 you have 3 accounts? Don’t click on each account individually. The main page that shows all 3 accounts should have your name there.

All of my banking has my name somewhere at the top.

It will need your name on it. If signed into online banking should have your name at the top of the site?

Penang is asking for a financial statement if you already have tourist visa in your passport. Financial Statement must be in Thb, Euro, US $, RM, others must state the converted rate and sum. See point 5:

They may ask for it, or they may not ask for it. It depends on the person behind the desk. We can not tell you what he/she is going to do.

I only have 2 non visa entries. Obviously I should bring proof of funds anyways, but does this mean if I dont have any tourist visa before this I may not need proof of funds?

You can not use CASH as a bank statement at a Thai Consulate, Embassy or even at Immigration. You can NOT use a bank statement, credit cards, mobile phone as proof of CASH at a checkpoint when you enter Thailand.

I don't think you need proof of funds for the SETV. The 20k is to show imigration at the border if required (as mentioned earlier)

But just showing them cash is enough? I have 3 different bank account and none of them have "Proof of Balance" in the settings. None of them show dates or names on the balance page.

Just print the front page of your online banking. Showing your name, account and balance. They don’t need the official bank statement for SETV.

And the 20k isn’t given to the embassy or agent. It’s separate and for showing at the border upon entry to Thailand, if requested by immigration officers.

Most online accounts have whats called "Proof of Balance" available in the settings. It displays name, account, balance and a time stamp which can either be downloaded or emailed directly from the internet banking site. If you can't find it, I would phone the bank and they can send you this via email.
