As SimCityAt has confirmed - It is correct - bank statements issued at any branch do not need any signature or branch stamp to confirm the validity/authenticity. It is normal procedure now.  I haver used a one page bank document (with information required) showing my address & bank's address only 3 days ago & it was accepted with no issues.  Regards

Thank you both very much for your helpful replies!

The fundamental prerequisite for submitting a visa application, whether for a student visa or a visit visa, is a bank statement. The secret to submitting a flawless visa application for any nation is financial proof of strength. Before issuing a visa, almost every country wants to know how strong your finances are. Statements reveal your level of financial stability and are required for both a student visa and a visitor visa. Everyone must submit a bank statement. It is not just required in nations where you would have to pay high tuition prices; it is also closely scrutinized in nations like Germany, Austria, Norway, etc. where education is free. An applicant for a German study visa must maintain money in a German bank account, which is released every month upon arrival. For example, all nations demand this to ensure that applicants for study visas have the resources to cover their educational expenses as well as their living expenses for the duration of their intended stay in the country. All nations do not want those foreign students to put a strain on their public resources.
