What is a stamped bank statement and does it apply outside the US?

Stamped bank statements, often required for visa applications, are used in various regions, including Thailand and some parts of Asia. While some users indicated that similar documentation is not common with online banks in the U.S. or the UK, it is a standard procedure in Thailand. Expats can obtain these stamped statements by requesting them at their local bank, which typically knows the requirements for visa applications. The need for a stamped statement can vary based on whether the bank statement is for a regular submission or required again later to verify funds.
