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! 🙏

Hello! I am wondering what the "translation of bank statements" exactly means - mine are not in English so would I have to get all pages for 6 months back translated into English? This seems a bit excessive - considering my name, address, account number and numeric balances and transfers are quite clear even if the descriptions of the transactions are not in English. Hence, is it necessary to translate all transaction descriptions for that period of time - or does translation of the basics like "account number", "balance" suffice??? Please share if you have experience, thank you!

For those who got their DTV in Asian countries and are from non-english speaking countries, did you have to translate your bank statement into English? I'm from France so my bank statement is in french.
