English translations of bank statements for Immigration New Zealand: proof of funds for visitor visas, shared finances for partnership residence, and every transaction line in between.
Bank statement translation for New Zealand is most often needed to show Immigration New Zealand (INZ) that you can support yourself during a visit, or that you and a partner share your finances. INZ asks for full English translations of non-English documents, and bank statements are no exception: every page, every column header, every transaction.
VisaDocTranslation translates statements in full and keeps the figures exactly as printed. They often go into the file alongside payslip and employment letter translations and, for self-employed applicants, tax return translations.

Yes, if they aren't in English. INZ asks visitor visa applicants for full English translations of every non-English document, and it lists bank statements specifically.
For visitor visas, the translation doesn't have to be company-certified, but it can't be made by you, a family member or the immigration adviser helping you. You also have to give INZ the translator's full name, address, phone number and details of their qualifications and experience in both languages. Our named-translator option is built around that requirement: the translator signs it and their details are on it.
It's one of INZ's more charming rules, in a paperwork sort of way: the translation has to arrive with a short biography of whoever made it.
At the time of writing, INZ asks for at least NZD 1,000 for each month of your stay, or NZD 400 a month if your accommodation is already paid for. Check INZ's visitor visa page for the current figures before applying.
Bank statements are the usual evidence, alongside credit card statements, bank drafts or proof of prepaid accommodation. INZ wants to see that the account is in your name, which bank holds it and what currency it's in, so we translate the account holder details, the bank's name and the currency notation as carefully as the balance.
You also need a ticket out of New Zealand or enough money to buy one, and bank or credit card statements can show that too. If someone is sponsoring your visit, different evidence applies, so check the checklist for your situation.
Yes, if they aren't in English. Residence applications need certified English translations of all non-English documents, and joint bank statements are common evidence of shared finances in a partnership application.
For the Partner of a New Zealander resident visa, INZ looks for evidence of a genuine and stable relationship, including shared finances and responsibilities. A joint account, or statements showing shared rent and bills, can carry real weight, and each non-English statement needs a certified translation under our standard option.
Translate the statements your checklist asks for rather than a decade of banking history. Case officers read closely, but nobody has ever been persuaded by volume alone.
Yes. INZ asks for full English translations, so every page you submit is translated in full, including transaction descriptions, not just the balance.
Banks have never met a column heading they didn't want to abbreviate. We translate headings, transaction types and descriptions into plain English and keep merchant names as printed. Figures, dates and currencies are copied exactly, because a single transposed digit is precisely the kind of thing a case officer notices.
The practical way to manage cost is to submit only the period your INZ checklist asks for, since statements are priced per page.
Choose the named-translator option for a visitor visa and the standard option for a residence visa, including partnership-based residence.
The quote form counts your pages and shows the total before you pay. Each document includes 2 free revisions, and the translation arrives as a PDF. Our bank statement translation guide is written for UK visas, but its advice on choosing pages and formats applies just as well here. Ready to order? Use the online quote form.
INZ allows anyone except you, your family and your immigration adviser to translate visitor visa documents, but you must give INZ their full name, address, phone number and qualifications. Our named-translator option provides those details for you.
Yes, if they aren't in English. INZ needs to see the account holder, the bank and the currency, so make sure your printout shows all three.
No. We translate amounts exactly as shown, in the original currency. INZ asks for the currency to be identified, and the translation makes that clear.
It depends on your visa and circumstances, so follow your INZ checklist. Translating only the period INZ asks for keeps the cost down.
