Hi,

Does anyone know if the embassy will accept my bank statements that have been copied, or will they only accept the originals? This is for a UKTV for my Thai national GF.

Kind regards

it says original documents. preferred. 6 months, also its not the Embassy its the Border Agency,

My appendices contained scanned in copies of my statements, with part of the sort code and account number blacked out (for my security).

i used my own printer as i don't have statements posted, they accepted these for both visit visa and marriage visa, but if you got originals i would use them mate

When you get Thai bank statements translated, do you have to get every page translated, or will the first page with the name and address do? Six months worth of bank statements amounts to a lot of pages!

If you are applying in Thailand there should be no need to have the statements translated. Someone will correct me if I am wrong I am sure!

I printed mine from the Internet for my Thai Wife to put with her application ( which has just been approved ), i think they accept almost any official documents for banks now as most people bank online.

They do ask for original documents but don't seem to have a problem with statements printed via Internet banking. ECO's do live in the real world, I suspect they use Internet banking themselves.

They can, and do, check the authenticity of documents submitted, if documents are found to be false then the the application will be refused and the applicant liable for a ten year ban.

No issues with internet statements we regularly submit applications using these.
