Can immediate blood relatives' income be combined to meet the minimum income requirement of 12 to 15 lakhs for Australia visa?

Yes, you can combine the income of your immediate blood relatives, such as your parents, to meet Australia's student visa minimum income requirement.

The Department of Home Affairs accepts official government documents like tax assessments from the past 12 months as proof. Both parents’ incomes can be combined, but evidence must be from tax documents - bank statements or employer letters are not accepted.

As of May 10, 2024, the minimum annual income required is AUD 87,856 for the primary applicant or AUD 102,500 if bringing family. These figures are subject to change.
