Mentioned it was for visa purposes and she even said other foreigners had got the same for the same purpose and was OK. $2 per statement but free if less than 4 pages.
While it does seem odd that they cannot produce a statement that covers a full year, at the very least, are there really countries that ask for more than 6 months history when applying for a visa?

So far I've encountered the following requirements: Just the current balance, 3 months, 6 months. Never seen or heard anyone being asked for more than 6 months.
Yeah, does seem odd. Especially, as I seem to be able to go back multiple years within the app. Previously, when they had the desk top web application, I gather one could've easily downloaded as required but now that is defunct. Also, in the app if you press and hold 1 transaction, say to a particular person, then it comes up with an option to list all the TXs to that person and take screenshots albeit not official looking. You can also save a pdf of a particular TX that looks more official but only 1 at a time.

Anyway, yes it sounds like 6 months is adequate enough :thumb:

Are you sure. I use ACLEDA and their app will go back only 6 months. I am sure they can produce a statement going further back but the app can't.

Yeah, just checked. With ABA app, I can go back all the way since I opened the account in November 2016. With Acleda app, I can go back 12 mths to 1 July 2021.

I can go back 6 months with ACLEDA app, but can download more (up to one year) with the app. But that's a 'savings' account.
