Hi everyone,

I have two questions regarding the bank statements:

- Translation: Saw that most people translated their own bank statements. I am in touch with a cooking school and they said to have the statements translated by a certified translation agency (I know that it is recommended on the website of the Thai embassy). As it's rather expensive, I thought of going the route like most people - translating myself. What is the overall recommendation?

- Date: How recent should the statements be? I read 7 days and elsewhere 3 days...

Thank you for your support!

Good day,

I am planning to have my bank statements translated for the DTV Soft Power Visa for Muay Thai. Since these documents need to be officially translated and certified, Google Translate is unfortunately not accepted. Does anyone know where I can have these PDF bank statements translated and certified at a reasonable cost?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV (Soft Power – Muay Thai) visa in Hanoi, Vietnam on July 6.

I have a question regarding my bank statement, which is in Chinese.

Do I have to use a Vietnamese translation company to translate it into English,

or is it acceptable to use a certified translation company in China instead?

Has anyone had experience with this situation?

I’d really appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Question about document translations for the DTV Visa

Hi everyone,

For those of you who have already submitted your DTV Visa application:

Did you upload any documents that were not in English (for example, in French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, etc.) and still got approved?

If yes, could you please share:

What language were your documents in?

What kind of documents were they (bank statements, proof of income, etc.)?

And most importantly, were they accepted without certified translation?

I’m a French Canadian, and when I look at the cost of getting all my documents certified translated, it ends up costing more than a SoftPower Muay Thai training package 😅

In my case, my professional portfolio consists of notarized contracts proving my private lending activity. Since each contract includes multiple clauses and conditions, each document is around 12 pages long, which makes translation very expensive.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience! 🙏

Hi! For those applying from non-English speaking countries, what's the right way to translate documents for the visa? Do they need to be certified or notarized? Any recommendations? Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Has anyone had to use a certified translation service to translate their documents into English or Thai for the DTV application at a Thai consulate?
