Are there more flexible ITR requirements or procedures for student visas in the UK or Europe compared to New Zealand?

The UK generally has more flexible ITR (Income Tax Return) requirements for student visas than New Zealand.

- UK: You do not need to submit ITRs when applying for a student visa. Financial evidence is usually shown through bank statements, sponsorship, or scholarship letters. ITRs are not a standard requirement.
- New Zealand: ITRs for the last 2-3 years are typically mandatory if you or your sponsor are self-funding. This is to verify consistent income and financial stability.

Overall, the UK process is less strict regarding ITRs, while New Zealand requires them as part of financial documentation. Visa rules are subject to change.
