Question about PayPal

I get paid via PayPal but haven’t made any withdrawals. Is it okay to show my PayPal statement or is it an issue?
Answer summary
The consensus is that PayPal statements are not accepted for visa applications in Thailand since they do not represent a traditional bank account. It's recommended to use a personal bank account statement instead, which should be in your name. However, the acceptance can depend on the specific embassy and the reason for your visa application.

Not accepted as PayPal is not a bank. They only accept real personal bank accounts and should be in your name.
