Yes, you can use an education loan or fixed deposits as financial proof for your New Zealand student visa.

- Education loan: Submit a sanction letter from a recognized bank, including loan amount and repayment terms.
- Fixed deposits: Provide certificates showing the deposit has been held for at least three months, along with recent bank statements.

All documents must be in English or have certified translations. Funds must be genuinely available to you during your studies. Requirements are subject to change.

If you need help preparing your financial documents, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
