Do I have to translate every page of a long bank statement?
Not always. Check what the receiving body actually asks for — often a bank's balance-confirmation letter, which is far shorter. But if a statement is required, the whole specified period must be translated, not a selection of pages.
In-depth Answer
Translating selected pages of a statement carries a double risk.
The assessor sees a break in pagination and wonders whether transactions were filtered out; and the translator cannot certify the completeness of a document they never received in full.
If the point is to evidence financial capacity, the tighter option is a bank's financial-standing or balance-confirmation letter — a single sealed page, which many Thai banks will issue in English directly, removing the need for translation altogether.
Where an authority explicitly asks for six months of transactions, translate every page of that period and keep the page order identical to the source so it can be checked at a glance.
