What are your thoughts on covering the account number (except the last 4 digits) on the bank statements? I hate putting my full account number out into the world.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion focuses on the practice of covering bank account numbers (except the last four digits) when submitting bank statements for visa applications in Thailand. Views are mixed; some participants recommend showing the full account number, while others successfully got their applications approved by redacting parts of the account number. It's advised to check with the specific embassy for their requirements, as different embassies may have varying rules.

You want to protect account numbers from the Thai consulate ???? You should definitely consider to go other country

I applied in Hanoi last month with only the last 4 of all my account numbers showing. They asked for additional documents and made me submit everything with the full account numbers showing. I did get approved after that.

Worst anyone can do with it is to send you money……But I suspect you can redact it. Call the specific embassy and ask. Every embassy/consulates have different rules

They wanna see 500k, just show that off. It doesn't seem a very complicated task to me. You can try your way but don't get pissed if your application gets rejected then

Without a Routing number to accompany a account number it's near impossible to use by anyone for the purpose of withdrawal

no they aren’t branch specific. You have no idea what you’re talking about

it’s easy to find the routing number on the Internet when you know the bank name

@Jack *******

they are location specific so you would need to know the exact bank branch that the account was held at not just the bank name . It's not impossible but it's difficult to narrow it down to the exact branch. You can gpt it if you don't belive me.

i just looked into this after reading your comment. It isn't branch specific, it is region specific. Also, the type of account can be a factor. I guess it isn't as big of a security risk as I was thinking.

Can I apply for a Thai visa if my funds are split over multiple accounts and include a recent deposit?
