Format 2. Hard copy with embossed seal and wet-ink signature — required by some solicitors and notaries
Format 3. Bilingual side-by-side layout (Thai-English) — easier for case officers to verify
Format 4. Digital PDF with electronic signature (Adobe Sign / DocuSign) — accepted by ImmiAccount and AHPRA online

Most clients choose Digital PDF for online lodgement plus a single hard-copy backup. If you're unsure, tell us the destination authority and we'll select the right format.

5 common mistakes with Bank Statement — and how to avoid them

These are common problems with Bank Statement submissions. Checking them before lodgement reduces the risk of a request for further information.

1. Using a self-translation or non-NAATI translator — DHA and AHPRA reject these immediately and request a re-submission
2. Mistranslating Thai government terminology (e.g., translating 'Amphoe' as 'District', confusing it with Bangkok districts)
3. Failing to translate stamps and signatures — DHA returns the file as 'incomplete translation'
4. Submitting expired evidence (police clearance and medical certificates expire after 12 months)
5. Incomplete scans of the source document (missing back pages, stamps, or signatures), forcing a redo of the work

Acceptance is decided by the receiving authority; a correct translation does not guarantee an outcome.

Documents typically translated together (story bundle)

Bank Statement is rarely translated on its own — most clients order it as part of a bundle for a visa, skills assessment or course application. NAATI Thailand offers 10-15% bundle pricing when documents are ordered together.

Skilled / PR bundle (subclass 189/190): Bank Statement + Police Clearance (PCC) + Bank Statement + Employment Letter + Degree + Transcript. We archive the full bundle so you can re-download for up to 5 years.

Partner Visa bundle (subclass 820/801, 309/100): Bank Statement + Marriage Certificate + Statutory Declaration + ID Card + House Registration. We can liaise directly with your migration agent or solicitor.

Citizenship by Descent bundle: Bank Statement + child's birth certificate + parents' passports + parents' marriage certificate. Bundling typically saves สอบถามเจ้าหน้าที่ versus ordering separately.
