Bank Statement Translation in Dubai

MOJ Certified for Golden Visa & Immigration

Bank statement translations are directly accepted by GDRFA, ICP, and Golden Visa processing centers when MOJ-certified. Improper translation of financial figures or account holder names is among the top reasons for investor visa rejection.

Why Bank Statement Translations Are Rejected

The ICP Golden Visa processing centers and GDRFA maintain strict standards for financial documentation. Rejections happen when account holder names do not exactly match passport spellings, when currency amounts are incorrectly converted or formatted, when transaction dates fall outside the required period, or when multi-currency balances are ambiguously rendered. Immigration officers verify financial standing carefully—statements showing balance below threshold trigger immediate rejection. Our pre-validation review catches name discrepancies and period coverage issues before you pay, preventing rejection at your visa appointment.

Investor Category 6 months showing AED 2M+ in savings, deposits, or investment accounts
Property Category Proof of AED 2M+ property purchase funds or mortgage records
Partner/Investor Visa Evidence of business investment value and shareholding

Multi-Currency and International Statements

International banking creates translation complexity. Indian statements mix Hindi and English with bank-specific abbreviations. UK statements use different date formats (DD/MM/YYYY vs MM/DD/YYYY). US statements include multiple account types in consolidated views. International banks issue multi-currency statements with exchange rate notations that must be accurately rendered.

Every element requires attention: account holder name and address (must match passport exactly), account numbers and IBAN, statement period coverage, all transaction descriptions and amounts, opening and closing balances per currency, and exchange rates where applicable. Immigration authorities verify these details against your application data.

Digital banking exports (PDF downloads from online banking) are strongly preferred—clearer than photographed paper statements and containing all required metadata. We verify that your statement period covers the required months before translation begins.

Immediate Checklist for Bank Statement Translation

  • 6-month consecutive statement coverage
  • Account holder name matches passport exactly
  • Balance meets visa category threshold
  • PDF export from online banking (preferred)
  • All pages included if multi-page statement
  • Currency clearly indicated for each balance

Confidentiality and Financial Data Security

Bank statements contain sensitive financial information—account numbers, transaction history, balance details. Under Article 378 of the UAE Penal Code, unauthorized disclosure carries significant penalties. Our protocols exceed these requirements.

Every bank statement translation is assigned to a single MOJ-licensed translator who signs a confidentiality undertaking. Documents are processed on encrypted systems with access restricted to the assigned translator only. We do not use cloud services, crowdsourced platforms, or offshore centers that could expose your financial details.

Translation accuracy is essential for visa success. We translate exactly what appears on your statement—every transaction, every balance, every notation. What appears on your statement appears on the translation—no rounding, no approximations, no omissions. Golden Visa adjudicators expect accuracy; your application depends on it.

Familiar with Golden Visa 6-month statement requirements. We ensure complete coverage.

Where you will use your bank statement translation

Golden Visa applicants typically need to demonstrate financial stability through 6 months of bank statements. The statements should show consistent balances meeting the threshold requirements for your visa category.

We translate the complete 6-month period and ensure the format clearly presents your financial position for ICP review.

Investor visa categories require proof of investment funds or business capital. Bank statements serve as primary evidence of available funds or investment capacity.

Multi-bank and multi-currency statements can be translated as a coordinated package with clear summary formatting.

Sponsors for family visas may need to demonstrate income or savings. Bank statements supplement salary certificates as proof of financial capability.

GDRFA requirements vary by visa category and family size. We can advise on typical documentation needs.

Some business license applications require proof of capital or financial backing. Bank statements from personal or business accounts may be needed.

We handle both personal and corporate bank statements with appropriate business terminology.

Special cases and requirements

Many applicants maintain accounts across several banks, both local UAE banks and international institutions. We translate statements from all your banks as a coordinated package.

If helpful, we can provide a cover summary showing aggregate balances across all accounts.

Statements in USD, EUR, GBP, INR, or any other currency are translated with clear currency notation. If authorities require AED equivalent, we can note current exchange rates.

Multi-currency accounts with transactions in various currencies are formatted clearly.

Some visa categories may accept cryptocurrency holdings as proof of wealth. We can translate statements or portfolio reports from major cryptocurrency exchanges if they are accepted by your visa processing authority.

Acceptance of crypto statements varies by visa category. Check with your advisor first.

Digital PDF exports from verified online banking portals are generally accepted. Statements should show the bank's official formatting and branding.

If your bank provides certified statements with official stamps, include those. However, standard digital exports are usually sufficient.

What You Need to Know About Bank Statement Translation

The Real Question: How Much Do I Need to Show?

This depends entirely on your visa category. There is no single answer because different visa types have different financial thresholds. Here is what we see most often:

Golden Visa (Investor) AED 2 million in deposits or investments
Golden Visa (Skilled Employee) Monthly salary AED 30,000+ (statements support this)
Investor Visa (Standard) Varies by investment amount and type
Family Sponsorship Income proof based on family size

We do not advise on whether your balances meet the threshold. That is for your immigration consultant or GDRFA to assess. We ensure your statements are translated accurately so authorities can review them.

What Period Do Statements Need to Cover?

For most Golden Visa applications, you need six months of statements. This should be the most recent six months. If you are applying in December 2025, your statements should cover June to November 2025.

Some visa categories may require twelve months. Others may accept three months. Check with your advisor or the specific portal requirements before getting statements translated.

Digital Exports vs Bank-Certified Statements

This is a common question. The answer is: digital PDF exports from your online banking portal are usually acceptable. You do not need to visit your bank branch for stamped statements unless specifically required.

What matters is that the statement shows:

  • Bank name and logo clearly visible
  • Your account holder name matching passport
  • Account number (can be partially masked)
  • Full date range covered
  • Opening and closing balances
  • Transaction history

If you have concerns about authenticity, some banks offer digitally signed PDF exports. These have cryptographic verification that proves they came from the bank.

Multiple Banks and Multiple Currencies

Many people maintain accounts across several banks: a salary account in UAE, savings in home country, investment accounts elsewhere. This is normal and acceptable for visa applications.

When translating statements from multiple banks:

  • Each bank's statements are translated separately but as a coordinated package
  • Currency is noted clearly (USD, EUR, INR, GBP, AED)
  • We can provide a cover sheet summarizing total balances if helpful
  • Statements from foreign banks in foreign languages are translated to Arabic

Foreign Bank Statements

If your savings are in your home country bank, those statements need translation too. Common scenarios:

India (SBI, HDFC, ICICI, etc.)

Statements are usually bilingual Hindi-English or English only. We translate the English statement to Arabic. If statement is Hindi only, we handle that too. INR balances are translated with clear currency notation.

Pakistan (HBL, UBL, MCB, etc.)

Statements in Urdu or English are translated to Arabic. PKR amounts are noted with currency. Some Pakistani banks issue statements with mixed Urdu-English formatting.

UK/USA/European Banks

English language statements translated to Arabic. Multi-currency accounts with USD, EUR, GBP handled with clear currency notation throughout.

Cryptocurrency and Investment Accounts

Some Golden Visa categories accept cryptocurrency holdings or investment portfolios as proof of wealth. If you need to demonstrate crypto holdings, we can translate:

  • Exchange account statements (Binance, Coinbase, etc.)
  • Portfolio summaries showing holdings and values
  • Transaction histories if required

Check with your visa advisor first whether crypto documentation is accepted for your specific category. Acceptance varies.

Page Count and Pricing

Bank statement translation is priced by page count because statements vary dramatically in length. A summary-only statement might be 2 pages. Six months of detailed transactions could be 50+ pages.

Typical page counts we see:

  • Summary statements: 2-5 pages (basic account info, monthly totals)
  • Detailed statements (3 months): 10-20 pages
  • Detailed statements (6 months): 20-50 pages
  • Active trading accounts: 50+ pages

Send us your statements via WhatsApp for an exact quote. We can advise whether you need all transaction pages or just summary pages for your specific requirement.

What We Actually Translate

Every element of your bank statement is translated:

  • Account holder name and address
  • Account type and number
  • Statement period dates
  • Opening and closing balances
  • Each transaction date
  • Transaction descriptions
  • Debit and credit amounts
  • Running balance after each transaction
  • Bank footer information and disclaimers

Realistic Timeline

Timeline depends on page count. Standard delivery for a 10-page statement is 24 hours. A 50-page statement may need 48 hours. Express service cuts these times roughly in half. VIP Concierge prioritizes immediately.

If you have multiple statements from multiple banks, we can work on them in parallel. Let us know your visa application deadline and we will advise on feasibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit bank statements from multiple banks for Golden Visa?

Yes, you can submit bank statements from multiple banks to demonstrate your financial standing. The key requirement is that all statements cover the same 6-month period and combined balances meet the threshold. We translate all statements as a coordinated package with consistent formatting.

Do I need to get original statements from my bank branch?

PDF exports from your online banking portal are generally accepted. The statement should show the bank's official formatting, your account details, and the required date range. If your bank provides certified statements with official stamps, those are also suitable.

How do you handle statements with multiple currencies?

We translate the statement exactly as shown, with clear currency notation for each transaction and balance. If helpful, we can note current exchange rates to AED, though authorities typically understand foreign currency figures directly.

How long does bank statement translation take?

Standard service delivers within 24-48 hours depending on statement length. Express service provides same-day handling. VIP Concierge offers immediate processing. Multi-page statements covering 6 months may require the longer end of these timeframes.

What if my statement has many pages of transactions?

We translate the complete statement including all transaction pages. Pricing is based on total page count. Send us your statements via WhatsApp for an accurate quote. We can advise if authorities typically need all transaction details or just summary pages.
