Can I apply for New Zealand if I can provide one year of my parents' ITR?

Yes, you can apply for a New Zealand student visa using one year of your parents' Income Tax Returns (ITR) as part of your financial proof. Immigration New Zealand accepts ITRs to show your sponsor’s financial capacity.

However, you must also show you have enough funds for your entire course duration, not just the first year. Supporting documents like bank statements, education loans, or a clear plan for funding later years will strengthen your application.

If you need help preparing your financial documents, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
