Dmaxdan Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Is it possible to get an offical Thai bank statement issued from your bank with your name and address written fully in English, not Thai? If so, has anyone ever done this. I need a official document with my Thai address on it for official business in the UK. I'm struggling a bit to come up with ideas for this. Thanks in advance.

nikmar Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 can an official translation be accepted. i have to renew my passport and have used a bank statement from k Bank as my proof of residence. the address was printed out in Thai and so required an official translation from one of many translation services. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophon Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I receive bank statements every month from Bangkok Bank with my address written in the Latin script. I needed an official document same as you for my home country, so I asked Bangkok Bank to register my address using the Latin script. No problem at all. i don't know about other banks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeseeker Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) If you go to your Bank branch and ask exactly for what you need, such as bank statement with your full address in English etc., the bank ought to do it for you. I recently did this and was asked to pay 100 baht. Seems banks here in Thailand get this request quite often. Help the bank by writing out your address in English so they can copy it into the statement. Edited October 21, 2022 by homeseeker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayWright Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 No issues with KBank. Made sure when opening my account last year to hand over address written in English, also when I updated it earlier this year. Wasn't charged for the change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I could have had a load of replies telling me that the banks don't do that and I'd be waisting my time! There is no harm in checking, is there? Especially for me because the nearest bank branch is about 45 minutes drive away from where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 At Bangkok Bank they initially just enter your address in Thai in most cases. Although you may have filled out the account opening paperwork in English the bank rep entering the information into their system translated it to Thai. To get a formal statement with your address in English the bank needs to also add your address in English in their system....that is your address is duplicated their system...in both Thai and English. A couple years ago I needed a bank statement in English from Bangkok Bank (i.e., including the address in English). The section which generated the formal statement said they could only give me a statement which showed my address in Thai. To get a formal statement with my address in English I needed to have my address added in English also. Went to the bank branch section where you do such things as opening an acct, working some problem, get a new debit card, etc., etc., where they added my address in English (and of course filling out several paper forms). Now my address in their system is in Thai and English. I then went back to the section that does the formal statements and they provided me a 12 month statement....all formal on letterhead, stamp, signature which included my name and address in English. This was at the Bangkok Bank in the Bangkok Bank Headquarters building on Silom Rd in Bangkok which is the home branch that occupies the 1st and 2nd floors of the headquarters building.. I expect the process would be same-same at any Bangkok Bank branch....that is, have your address added in English also; not just Thai....then get the formal statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmaxdan Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 Just for the record, I have now obtained my bank statement in English. I was instructed to go to the branch where I originally opened the account. Actually in my case that particular branch has since closed so I had to find the one I'm now registered at. Once there they changed my address to English on the system which involved signing a couple of forms and a fair amount of faffing about. Once that was completed I was rewarded with a statement with with my address in English. Anyway, thanks for everyone's help???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
