Bank Statement Translation.

Bank statements for visa applications.
Bank statements are commonly submitted as evidence of financial means in visa and immigration applications. South African immigration regulations specifically recognise a three-month bank statement as one form of proof of sufficient financial means.
Mission-specific requirements can be stricter. Some South African missions require recent statements carrying bank certification or stamps. The receiving mission determines its own requirements, so confirm them before submitting.

Transaction descriptions.
Bank statements often contain abbreviations, merchant descriptions and transaction codes. These are handled consistently throughout the statement set, without inventing explanations that do not appear in the source document.
Does a bank statement translation convert the currency?
Translation normally preserves the monetary values and the currency shown on the original statement. Currency conversion is a separate calculation, and it does not silently replace the figures appearing in the bank’s record. If the receiving authority needs converted amounts, that is a separate, clearly labelled step.
Complete statement vs selected pages.
If the authority requests three months of statements, submit the complete requested period for quotation. Removing pages can also remove opening balances, transaction explanations or bank certification that the authority expects to see.
Sensitive financial records.
Bank statements contain personal financial information. Premium Lingua handles them only for the translation you have requested, shares them only with the linguists working on your file, and returns or removes working copies once the job is complete. Send only the statements the receiving authority actually requires.
