Can a family member with a modest salary and ITRs sponsor me for visa in Ireland?

Yes, a family member with a modest salary and Income Tax Returns (ITRs) can sponsor you for an Ireland student visa, as long as they meet the required financial criteria.
The sponsor must provide proof of sufficient funds - such as recent bank statements and employment records - to show they can support your stay in Ireland without relying on public funds or casual employment. All financial documents must match current visa requirements, which are subject to change.
If you need help reviewing your sponsor's documents, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
