What are the requirements for providing proof of assets when applying for a long-term resident visa in Taiwan?

Applying as a long term resident of Taiwan. The visa office sent me to the National Immigration Agency for proof of current location.

For the proof of 500k in assets, the instructions say 3 months of bank statements, but my bank's statements are generated only on a certain day of the month. Do I just have to wait or can I paste together a web printout of my recent transactions (showing that I transferred 500k THB into by account)? Instead of showing both deposits and expenditures/withdrawals, can I just show deposits since this is more private?

Also I've seen a few people say Taiwan requires 6 months of bank statements, even though the application says 3 months.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a long-term resident visa in Taiwan, there is some ambiguity regarding the requirements for bank statements. The application mentions needing 3 months of bank statements to prove 500k THB in assets, but some applicants report that 6 months may be requested. Clients suggest submitting 6 months of statements to avoid potential requests for additional documentation. If the bank statements are generated only on specific days, applicants might choose to provide a web printout of recent transactions showing the required funds, while some believe they can selectively present only deposits.

Had multiple clients gone through Taiwan, mostly before Christmas and well known 6 months was needed but it was also in person before new years so turn around was 1 day.

I would contact my bank to get a complete 6 month pdf of my statements.

it says 3 but they likely ask for more, I just gave 6 straight away to avoid request for more. I cut n pasted my statements to show salary deposits and just a few withdrawals and expenditures. You can present what info you are comfortable with but they will want to see employer income deposits. If you are applying for Soft power Inc employer info, Taipei requires that even if not posted on their site

How did you cut and paste? Like, redact some rectangles in the pdf?

Anonymous participant I had to translate my bank statements. I changed PDF statement into word format so easy to change.
